Multicast Routing Simulator Over MPLS Networks

Tags:
switching

Overview Multicast and MPLS are two complementary technologies. Merging these two technologies where multicast trees are constructed over MPLS networks will enhance performance and present an efficient solution for multicast scalability and control overhead problems. This paper presents a simulator for multicast routing over an MPLS network where it chooses PIM-SM (source specific tree) as the multicast routing protocol. A simulator for multicast routing over MPLS network is an original idea since this kind of simulator never existed before and it will help researchers to simulate and evaluate their MPLS multicast related techniques.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

To give you a mental picture MPLS could be described as a stiff wooden spoon bashing away at an internet protocol (IP) network that stubbornly refuses to move its thinking beyond simplistic. Multi protocol label switching, sexily tagged MPLS, is...

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

Much of the complexity stems from MPLS routing, and customers would need to learn new routing procedures, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Carriers are seeing massive interest in MPLS IP VPNs and BT, for example, has seen a quarter-on-quarter...

Telco mergers may spell bad news for hardware firms

The newly merged carriers will have to re-evaluate their networks. Cisco and Juniper supply AT&T and SBC with IP routing and security products. Overall, though, Luke sees the consolidation in the market as a negative for all IP routing vendors.

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?
