CAIP: A Restoration Routing Architecture for DiffServ Aware MPLS Traffic Engineering

Tags:
switching

Overview This paper proposes an architecture for MPLS restoration routing of DiffServ traffic. This architecture, namely Per Class Aggregate Information With Preemption (CAIP), facilitates provisioning of two key QoS features for multimedia traffic: prioritized guaranteed bandwidth and fast restoration in the event of an element failure. The CAIP architecture is scalable and requires propagating only per-class aggregate link usage information; such information can be readily piggybacked on link state routing packets using traffic engineering extensions to link state routing protocols. CAIP results in improved bandwidth sharing compared to Simple Aggregate Information Scenario (SAIS), resulting in fewer LSP rejected requests and a greater amount of active bandwidth placed on the network.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
