The advent of Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables traffic engineering by introducing connection-oriented features of forwarding packets over arbitrary non-shortest paths. Our goal in this research is to improve the network utilization for best effort traffic in IP networks. By examining the best effort traffic class, we assume the large volume of research that has been conducted on tr...

M cars first appeared on Australian roads in about 1900, and road laws, as they are known today, began to evolve soon after. For several years traffic control in Australia was largely a police responsibility, but by the mid to late 1930sthe principles of traffic engineering, including the need to consider the road, the vehicle, the driver, and the traffic rules as an integrated system, were bei...

By pervasiveness of cloud computing, a colossal amount of applications from gigantic organizations increasingly tend to rely on cloud services. These demands caused a great number of applications in form of couple of virtual machines (VMs) requests to be executed on data centers’ servers. Some of applications are as big as not possible to be processed upon a single VM. Also, there exists severa...

Traffic engineering and fast reroute are the two major applications of constraint based routing Traffic engineering is the process of controlling how traffic flows through a service provider’s network so as to optimize resource utilization and network performance[1]. Traffic engineering is needed in the Internet mainly because the shortest path is used in current intradomain routing protocols (...

Protocol-independent redundant traffic elimination (RTE) is a method to detect and remove redundant chunks of data from network-layer packets by using caching at both ends of a network link or path. In this paper, we propose a set of techniques to improve the effectiveness of packet-level RTE. In particular, we consider two bypass techniques, with one based on packet size, and the other based o...
