Heh, that's pretty ironic the book doesn't go into depth about traffic engineering... um hello? Oh well. Which books out of the Juniper course material go over MPLS?

It's OK as an intro book to the subject. Unfortunately many of the more complex topics in later chapters are written in such garbled way as to be almost unintelligible, particularly some of the 'carrier of carrier' and 'Internet access' stuff, and those are precisely the topics that need to be as clear as possible because of their complexity. I swear, some of the grammar is so convuleted that the only way to really understand everything in those chapters is to already know it in the first place, but then if you already know it, why are you reading the book at all? The book is also missing any mention of probably the most important reason to use MPLS at all: traffic-engineering. Unfortunately there is no really good Cisco book about this subject (it is covered briefly in IP Quality of Service, but not in any serious depth). The best stuff I've ever found on TE is, ahem, Juniper course material. But like I said, a decent intro book on the subject.

I haven't got to the VPN > stuff yet though, but its given me a good grounging in tag switching and MPLS.
