Interdomain Multicast Routing - Practical Juniper Networks And Cisco Systems Solutions - Edwards Brian-M

. .

Résumé :
Increasing numbers of ISPs have begun implementing multicast infrastructure. Soon the Internet will provide multicast connectivity between any two points on the Internet the way it provides for unicast traffic today. Long-evolving protocols are reaching maturity, and enterprise networks and ISPs around the world are ramping up their multicast infrastructure. Now, more than ever, network engineers must be ready to deal with new applications that capitalize on the simultaneous, efficient delivery of data and imagery to multiple recipients. Interdomain Multicast Routing is the key to unlocking the complexities of this growing technology. Starting with a summary of the technology and its relevant protocols, this book shows readers the big picture before revealing a detailed analysis of important protocols and the way they work with one another. Throughout, the authors focus on both Cisco Systems and juniper Networks technology-the two leading vendors of routers and routing technology. Real-life examples are used to clearly illustrate key concepts. Specific topics covered in Interdomain Multicast Routing include: ? Background and in-depth analyses of multicast routing using PIM-SM and MSDP ? Comparison of Any-Source and Source-Specific multicast delivery models ? Explanation of how MBGP and M-ISIS can be used side by side to build a dedicated multicast environment ? A detailed breakdown of the differences between IGMP versions 1, 2, and 3 ? A step-by-step guide to understanding the MSDP RPF-peer selection rules ? Lists of packet formats for IGMP, PIM, and MSDP ? A complete glossary that clarifies important terms and acronyms and provides their definitions Practical and thorough in coverage, Interdomain Multicast Routing is an important addition to any network engineer's bookshelf.

Biographie:
Brian M. Edwards is a customer support engineer for accounts in Juniper Networks' Technical Assistance Center, where he troubleshoots problems affecting the largest ISP networks. He holds the highest level of both Juniper Networks and Cisco Systems certifications (CCIE #6187 and JNCIE #9), and a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida. Leonard A. Giuliano is a systems engineer for juniper Networks, supporting large ISPs in the architecture, design, and operation of backbone networks. Leonard specializes in IP multicast, IP core routing, and traffic engineering. He previously worked as a multicast architect for SprintLink, the world's first native multicast-enabled Internet backbone. Leonard is coauthor of multiple published documents on multicast networking, including the IETF's Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) Framework specification. He is also a member of the IETF's MSDP Design Team. He earned his B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering from Duke University. Brian R. Wright is a technical writer specializing in message-based computer operating systems and large financial transaction processing applications. His clients include EDS, Exxon-Mobil, National Bank of Detroit, and MasterCard International. He is a member of the S.E. Michigan Society for Technical Communication and acquired his B.S.M.E. at Wayne State University.
