MPLS Multicast Traffic Engineering

Tags:
multicasting

Overview This paper defines first the multicast traffic engineering and studies after its particularity comparing to unicast traffic engineering. This paper studies merging multicast and MPLS. The paper presents a taxonomy of different MPLS proposals for multicast TE. The paper describes briefly the approach, the MPLS multicast tree (MMT) protocol which utilizes, in order to reduce forwarding states and enhance scalability, MPLS LSPs between branching node routers of a multicast tree. This paper discusses also implementing a simulator for MMT and finally it presents some simulation results.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.

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?
