Wu), michel The Resource Reservation Protocol for Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) must recover its state after a control plane failure so that the established connections in the data plane continue to be provided full services, are not disrupted by new connection setup requests, and survive any data plane failures. We outline the RSVP-TE Graceful Restart (GR) mechanism defined by the IETF. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the information that may be carried by RSVP-TE signaling messages when a connection is to be established and the state information that is stored in an RSVP-TE signaling module. We then propose an enhancement for RSVP-TE GR to alleviate the requirement of local recovery of the data plane state. Our proposal includes a two-step RSVP-TE state recovery, which uses a fast recovery to recover the RSVP-TE state in which labels were idle before a control plane failure and a detailed recovery to recover all of the RSVP-TE state. The fast RSVP-TE state recovery is realized as an extension to the RSVP-TE Hello mechanism, allowing a restarting node to process new connection setup requests as quickly as possible without interfering with existing connections. The detailed RSVP-TE state recovery generally follows RSVP-TE GR with minor modifications that can be performed in the background in parallel with normal RSVP-TE operations for connection setup and removal. Our performance evaluations show that our proposal shortens the waiting time for new connection setups being processed by a restarting node. Crown Copyright 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Traffic engineering with OSPF-TE and RSVP-TE: Flooding reduction techniques and evaluation of processing cost

This paper considers two important aspects related to the control plane of Traffic Engineered IP/MPLS networks: the “flooding reduction” mechanisms and the evaluation of processing cost for signaling and routing protocols. The flooding reduction mechanisms are needed to reduce the amount of information exchanged by Traffic Engineering enabled routing protocols. The trade off between the amount ...

RSVP-TE Signaling Extension for LSP Handover from the Management Plane to the Control Plane in a GMPLS-Enabled Transport Network

In a transport network scenario, Data Plane connections controlled by either a Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Control Plane (Soft Permanent Connections SPC) or a Management System (Permanent Connections PC) may independently coexist. The ability of transforming an existing PC into an SPC and vice versa -without actually affecting Data Plane traffic being carried over it -is a...

Analyses of soft-state signaling protocols in GMPLS-Based WDM networks

Wavelength-routed Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks use Resource reSerVation Protocol—Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) as signaling protocol to set up and tear down lightpaths. RSVP-TE uses a soft-state control mechanism to manage lightpaths. In the soft-state control mechanism, each node sets a timer for each control state and resets the timer with refresh messages to ma...
