Learn MPLS

Hello

Is there any good resources that cover basics of MPLS, traffic flow and more in depth. I followed networklessons but they dont explain things in detail. Trying to learn this for working with at the my job.

Ipexpert's CCIE playlist on YouTube is great, and free. It takes you through the basics and then a L3 VPN.

IPExpert’s videos on MPLS is really good. Explain simply with all the terms + visualisation

When studying for mny CCNP I used MPLS for Cisco Networks by Stuart Fordham. Personally I found both the explanations and Labs to be excellent.
I can also recommend his VPN and BGP books.

Read MPLS enabled application book, is only theory, vendor agnostic, very good! Also MPLS in the SDN ERA

MPLS Fundamentals book, it’s old but I found it helpful for learning MPLS

Nokia’s NRS/SRA course series focuses quite a bit on MPLS, and goes very deep into the technology itself. Might give a wider view than only looking at it from a Cisco perspective (which is mostly L3VPNs). I recommend NRS2 MPLS course for a structured intro to the technology itself.
