Improving Resource Management in MPLS-TE Networks. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 176
Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) based Traffic
Engineering (TE)
is a common and effective resource management option
deployed
by several service providers to tackle the explosive
growth in traffic
volume.This book discusses new MPLS based TE mechanisms
capable of dealing with traffic changes while
illustrating the analysis
and performance metrics that are involved in
designing one.
Specifically, new techniques for dynamic bandwidth
allocation and
routing are proposed and developed through
simulations under
failure and non-failure scenarios. Issues related to
inter-domain
deployment are also studied.
With the emergence of numerous successful open source
efforts
that provide routing and forwarding services coupled
with
decreasing hardware costs, it is easier than before
to build testbeds
with specific goals. Design principles of an
Application Programming
Interface (API) for a platform that will allow TE
experimentation is
discussed. Sample experiments on a prototype are
illustrated for
motivating the development of open architectures that
will allow
performance analysis of custom TE techniques on
commercial
equipment.
