Who Should Read This Book?

This is not an introductory-level book, nor is it for doctoral candidates. The target readership includes network designers, planners, architects, operators, and support personnel. (Additionally, technically savvy IT executives may also benefit.) In other words, the people responsible for the support, design, and deployment of network services will find the topic, scope, and level of detail beneficial, whether they are looking at options for a new access VPN service or at migrating an existing transport infrastructure to MPLS.

The secondary audience includes the user and purchaser of access VPNs, including IT and telecom consultants and directors in small, midsize, and large enterprises, as well as network engineers and support staff.
