Traffic Engineering And Path Protection In Mpls Virtual Private Networks, Pooja S. Aniker
LSU Master's Theses
Traffic Engineering (TE) attempts to establish paths for the flow of data in a network so as to optimize the resource utilization and maximize the network performance. One of the main goals of Traffic Engineering is to bring about efficient and reliable network operations. Constraint based routing is the key to Multiprotocol label switching TE. Constraint based routing helps to manage traffic paths within a MPLS network and allows for traffic to flow along certain desired paths. MPLS also supports explicit routing thus providing TE capabilities. MPLS TE enables resiliency and reliability to be built into networks, thus increasing the …

Traffic Engineering In Multiprotocol Label Switching Vpns, Vinay Kumar Desai
LSU Master's Theses
The changing nature of Internet-based applications is imposing stricter demands on the performance of the Internet. For many new applications requiring differentiated quality of service, the best effort model of the internet is no longer adequate. Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) overlays a connection oriented network on the connection-less IP networks, thereby addressing several shortcomings of the IP network. MPLS improves the forwarding speed, and it provides a virtual path capability to efficiently carry differentiated services. Additionally, MPLS enables traffic engineering by explicit traffic engineering tunnels to be set up across the network to utilize all available bandwidth in an efficient …
