Design a robust BGP control plane within a secure, scalable
network for smoother services

A robust Border Gateway Protocol setup is vital to ensuring
reliable connectivity, an essential capability for any
organization. The Internet has become a necessary, always-on
service in homes and businesses, and BGP is the protocol that keeps
communication flowing. But BGP also has become crucial to delivery
of intra-domain business services. But the network is only as
reliable as BGP, so service enablement depends upon making BGP more
stable, reliable, and service-rich.

Alcatel-Lucent Service Router Operating System is engineered to
bear the load of the most demanding networks. The system features
support for Symmetric Multiprocessing and unprecedented depth of
advanced routing features, all within a single OS that's supported
across the entire Alcatel-Lucent IP/MPLS router portfolio.
Versatile Routing and Services with BGP provides guidance
toward implementation of BGP within SR-OS, and details the use and
control of each feature. The book provides in-depth coverage of
topics such as:

* BGP/MPLS IP-VPN, VPLS, VPWS

* Labeled Unicast IPv4, reconvergence, and multicast

* Security, graceful restart and error handling

* IPv6 PE (6PE) and IPv6 extensions to BGP/MPLS IP-VPN

* A look at forthcoming features such as Ethernet VPN

Basic BGP competency is assumed, but the book is accessible even
to those with zero familiarity with Alcatel-Lucent's SR-OS. It
underscores the idea that BGP is more than just service enablement,
and can also be used for infrastructure layer transport - but both
layers must be solid, scalable, and able to quickly reconverge.
Versatile Routing and Services with BGP demonstrates the
creation of a robust BGP control plane within a, secure network,
allowing the delivery of flawless, uninterrupted service.
