Evaluation of Scalability and Bandwidth Efficiency of Multipoint to Multipoint Hierarchy for Fast Recovery in Mpls Networks

چکیده
Multi-Point to Multi-Point Traffic Engineering (MP2MP-TE) leads to an important scalability in Multi Protocol Label Switching-Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) networks. This paper emphasizes on the support of Fast-reroute (FRR) in MPLS-TE networks by using MP2MP bypass TE-tunnels. Hence, one MP2MP bypass TE-tunnel can be used to protect several primary TE-tunnels. During failure, the primary TE-tunnel is encapsulated into the MP2MP bypass TE-tunnel which calls for defining a new type of MPLS hierarchy, i.e. the multipoint to multipoint hierarchy. In this paper we present a simulation study that evaluates several fast rerouting scenarios depending on the number of leaves of a MP2MP bypass TE-tunnel and on the number of primary TE-tunnels that can be encapsulated into one MP2MP bypass TE-tunnel. In particular, the scalability/bandwidth efficiency tradeoff between these schemes is analyzed and valuable comparisons with the existing approaches are presented.

متن کاملImproving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

Traffic engineering aims to optimize the utilization of existing network resources for load balance and failure recovery, and these are to be accomplished in a scalable fashion. This paper proposes a traffic engineering scheme using multiple multipoint-to-point (m-t-p) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) which can reduce the number of LSPs and required labels in links. The scheme consists of m-t-p LSP ...
متن کاملTraffic engineering in a multipoint-to-point network
The need to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) to multimedia applications leads to a tight integration between the routing and forwarding functions in the Internet. MPLS tries to provide a global solution for this integration. In this context, multipoint-to-point (m2p) networks appear as a key architecture since they provide a cheaper way to connect edge nodes than point-to-point connections. M...
