possibly the best SP book I've ever encountered.

That's what an MPLS network looks like, actually. Looks like a full mesh.
And it's such a hot seller, the paperback version on Amazon is currently out of stock!
Juniper logo?
First thing i saw too...

Thanks a lot for this.
Seems like a good book from the sample i saw so i will be getting myself a copy. Should be helpful for me at this stage and should hopefully allow me to learn and apply some new knowledge in my ISP capacity.
Ah sorry - didn't mean to insinuate too much - but good that they preemptively call that out.
EDIT - That, and I do see them as kind of a leader in that space (MPLS, WAN, etc. - dunno about SDN....) - at least traditionally.
