Effective traffic engineering in multi protocol label switching enabled ip networks

Abstract

Traffic engineering enhances the performance of the Internet newlineprotocol IP networks by utilizing the network resources effectively Almost newlineevery busy network backbone has some congested links while others remain newlinefairly free That is due to the shortestpath routing protocols which send newlinetraffic through the shortest path without considering other network newlineparameters such as utilization congestion and traffic demands Traffic newlineengineering redistributes packet flow ensuring uniform distribution of loads newlineacross all links Multi Protocol Label Switching MPLS has emerged as an newlineefficient packet forwarding tool giving a significant boost to the traffic newlineengineering capabilities of IP networks newline newline
