Traffic Engineering with MPLS in the Internet

چکیده
This paper discusses Traffic Engineering with Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) in an Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) network. In this paper, we first briefly review MPLS, Constraint-based Routing and enhanced link state Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) to provide a background for Traffic Engineering. We then discuss the general issues of designing an MPLS system for Traffic Engineering. The design of GlobalCenter’s MPLS system is presented. Based on our experiences, a generic procedure for deploying MPLS system is proposed. We also discuss how to provide Quality of Service (QoS) in a network with MPLS. Putting these together, we present the readers the practical issues of Traffic Engineering and a working solution for Traffic Engineering with MPLS in the Internet.
