Addressing OSPF Load in IP/MPLS Networks
Overview There is an increasing trend towards deploying IP/MPLS networks that provide value added services such as virtual private networks, guaranteed bandwidth pipes, etc. to network users. Such networks are required to be highly reliable and robust even under peak load and/or unanticipated situations of link/router failures. TE mechanisms typically involve path computation based on information obtained through OSPF or other link state routing mechanisms and then using a signaling mechanism such as RSVPTE to set up the computed path in the network. As routers in such a network have to endure a higher computation and protocol processing load compared to routers in a best effort IP network, these mechanisms will have to be significantly scalable in robust large-scale TE networks.
