Lcm, a Load Balance Algorithm in Mpls-te
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today MPLS-TE is one of the hot technologies which every major carrier has selected for its network infrastructure. Some of the key reasons for the high level of interest in MPLS-TE include the requirements of critical network applications in the areas of link capacity and network connectivity. MPLS-TE is able to handle various paths along different routes to balance the traffic load between two points of the network. In previous works we have developed a dynamic load balance algorithm based on the maximum and mean load thresholds defined for each LSP. This paper describes the research results obtained by our load balance algorithm (LCM). In order to evaluate this algorithm, both a MPLS Linux lab test bed and a simulator have been used. Observed results show that our algorithm is able to attain dynamic load balance while avoiding undesirable oscillations.

MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) enhances the possibility to engineer the traffic on IP networks by allowing explicit routes. Though IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) routing has proven its scalability and reliability, effective traffic engineering (TE) has been difficult to achieve in public IP networks, because of the limited functional capabilities of conventional IP technologies. Without...
