This document describes the applicability of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to traffic engineering in IP networks. Special considerations for deployment of MPLS for traffic engineering in operational contexts are discussed and the limitations of the MPLS approach to traffic engineering are highlighted.

The advent of Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables traffic engineering by introducing connection-oriented features of forwarding packets over arbitrary non-shortest paths. Our goal in this research is to improve the network utilization for best effort traffic in IP networks. By examining the best effort traffic class, we assume the large volume of research that has been conducted on tr...

M cars first appeared on Australian roads in about 1900, and road laws, as they are known today, began to evolve soon after. For several years traffic control in Australia was largely a police responsibility, but by the mid to late 1930sthe principles of traffic engineering, including the need to consider the road, the vehicle, the driver, and the traffic rules as an integrated system, were bei...

Traffic engineering and fast reroute are the two major applications of constraint based routing Traffic engineering is the process of controlling how traffic flows through a service provider’s network so as to optimize resource utilization and network performance[1]. Traffic engineering is needed in the Internet mainly because the shortest path is used in current intradomain routing protocols (...

This paper will give an overview of how to connect reliably to the Internet using connections to multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Since there are numerous possible ways for packets to enter and leave our own network in such a setup, a network operator might want to control this behavior as best as possible for several reasons. We will discuss how to achieve this goal.
