Traffic Engineering with MPLS (ISBN 1587050315)
Eric Osborne, Ajay SimhaAs most CCIE's do, I ventured out in search of my next technical mastery. After reading the MPLS and VPN Architectures book from Cisco Press, I decided to venture onward into the Traffic Engineering aspect of MPLS. WoW! There sure is a lot of information out there and this book does a good job on covering the in depth details of the topic. I would however not recommend this book if you haven't read the first book mentioned as a primer/base for your MPLS knowledge because this one dives in deep very quickly. I work for a large service provider and we are designing a new MPLS based network to support several very large customers global networks therefore I need to be on top of the MPLS game. Not only does this book cover the MPLS TE concepts very well but also gets in to the tough areas of QOS such as RSVP, Diffserv and even into SPF! The chapters that I found the most rewarding were chapters 9 and 10 because not only are the diagrams easy to follow and apply to the topic at hand but they discuss the "knobs" that's be tweaked to make MPLS do exactly as you want it to which is the goal of this book. This book also covers topics such as IS-IS, Multicast routing, LDP-TDP, and the innards of MPLS as well as TE.

What is the last reviewer going on about?
I had to write this review to offset some of the utter rubbish written in the previous review! I am a CCIE, a JNCIS, etc., etc., I design MPLS networks, I teach advanced MPLS, and I can say without a shadow of doubt that this book is one of the most accurate, well-written, and informative that I possess. So, 5 stars from me - ignore the frankly absurd nit-picking in the previous review and get this book!
