Thanks for the recommendation.
I don't know if I want to go diving into RFC's just yet.
I work for a mid-size company that currently has a few hundred
point-to-point T1's and is looking into migrating them to MPLS. I would like
to learn the following:
1. How to choose an MPLS provider and choose among their various service
offerings.
2. Learn the differences between the SP managing the edge routers and my
company managing the edge routers.
3. Learn how to configure routing between the edge routers.
4. I have a pretty good grasp of BGP. Is there anything specific to MPLS
that I would need to configure if I plan to use BGP between the providers?
5. We plan to use two different MPLS providers for redundancy. How will that
affect my network design?
Any advice from someone who has been through this is greatly appreciated.
