A Framework for Traffic Engineering in a SIP-Over-MPLS Based Network

Tags:
switching

Overview The next generation communication systems will provide multimedia services and will need to support high quality of service in a more flexible and intelligent manner than previous generations. In this paper, a network based on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) over MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is proposed. A network architecture that adopts SIP protocol as signaling to set up a call and MPLS as a core network forwarding mechanism is identified. To combine of SIP and MPLS give this network two major features: it overcomes the weakness of traditional SS7 running in the Internet and provides high quality of service to the user using Traffic Engineering technology.

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?
