While on a MPLS related TAC case recently, I was speaking to an engineer =
who helped vet portions of Cisco Press' MPLS Fundamentals =
(http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=3D1587051974). He =
said it's one of the best he's come across, but there may perhaps be =
some bias there ;) Not knowing any better, I picked it up and I'm =
learning quite a bit. It's also seems to be a great reference manual to =
keep around too. The Kindle version is handy for quick reference from =
mobile devices too.
