<p><b>Facilitates both the understanding and adoption of 802.1aq as a networking solution</b></p> <p>802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) is a technology that greatly simplifies the creation and configuration of carrier, enterprise, and cloud computing networks—by using modern computing power to deprecate signaling, and to integrate multicast, multipath routing, and large-scale virtualization. It is arguably one of the most significant enhancements in Ethernet's history.</p> <p><i>802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging Design and Evolution</i> explains both the "what" and the "why" of the technology standard being set today. It covers which decisions were elective and which were dictated by the design goals by using a multipart approach that first explains what SPB is, before transitioning into narrative form to describe the design processes and decisions behind it.</p> <p>To make SPB accessible to the data networking professional from multiple perspectives, the book:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Provides a "Reader's Companion" to the standard</p> </li> <li> <p>Dissects the different elements of SPB</p> </li> <li> <p>Offers applications and potential futures for the technology</p> </li> </ul> <p><i>802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging Design and Evolution</i> will appeal to system implementers, system and network architects, academics, IT professionals, and general networking professionals.</p>

<p><b>David Allan</b> is a Distinguished Engineer at Ericsson and a former Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Nortel. He is the holder of some thirty patents in telecommunications, including several for the co-invention of technology fundamental to 802.1aq and 802.1Qay. In addition, he co-chairs the End-to-End Architecture Committee of the Broadband Forum, which recently honored him as a Distinguished Fellow. <p><b>Nigel Bragg</b> has spent twenty years in the telecommunications industry, thirteen of them with Nortelwhere he was elected a Nortel Fellow in 2008before joining Ciena where he works on packet transport and Carrier Ethernet technologies. He holds over thirty patents and is a co-inventor of PBT and PLSB, the pre-standard predecessors of PBB-TE and SPBM.
