A proposed architecture for integrating Active Networks and MPLS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) was originally intended as a fast switching technique for core networks, but proved to be very useful for providing traffic engineering and QoS Routing capabilities in the Internet. Hence, MPLS is beginning to appear at the edge of networks as well as in the network core. Modern edge routers are typically provided with a multi-layer switching capability to support packet computation services within the network, whereas MPLS employs layer two switching. This paper describes a method to emulate the capabilities of multi-layer switches in MPLS by combining it with the active network concept.

متن کاملAn MPLS-based Quality of Service Architecture for Heterogeneous Networks
(ABSTRACT) This thesis proposes a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS)-based architecture to provide quality of service (QoS) for both internet service provider (ISP) networks and backbone Internet Protocol (IP) networks that are heterogeneous in nature. Heterogeneous networks are present due to the use of different link-layer mechanisms in the current Internet. Copper-based links, fiber-based...
