RSVP-TE Daemon for DiffServ Over MPLS Under Linux

Tags:
quality of service

Overview The RSVP-TE daemon for DiffServ over MPLS under Linux project supports the important Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards for the set up of MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS, RFC3031) tunnels with DiffServ support (DS, RFC2475) under Linux by using the ReSource reserVation Protocol (RSVP, RFC2205). These tunnels support scalable Quality of Service (QoS) in IP networks. While the project might be very specialized for the typical Linux user, it is used by ISPs, network operators and research institutes all over the world. For some of them this project is a "Killer application" making them look at Linux for the first time. The project reuses the code of a few existing projects (some of them abandoned) and created a useable RSVP MPLS daemon for Linux.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

One of the most important developments to help companies deploy converged applications is the emergence of IP virtual private networks (VPNs) with classes of service, in the shape of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).

Standard VoIP - the dream of new industry group

MPLS, or multiprotocol label switching, is software that a growing number of telephone service providers use to direct traffic over their networks. The MPLS/Frame Relay Alliance expects to publish details of its I.366.2 Voice Trunking Format today.

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?
