Load Balancing by MPLS in Differentiated Services Networks

Tags:
load balancing

Overview Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) as a new technique assigns a short label to each packet at the ingress node of MPLS network and packets are forwarded according to these labels. The capability of MPLS of explicit routing as well as of splitting of the traffic on several paths allows load balancing. The report concentrates on two previously known approximations of the minimum-delay algorithm presented by Gallager. The first approximation defines the paths using the LP-optimization and after that allocates traffic using the NLP-optimization. The second approximation divides traffic into parts and routes them consecutively using Dijkstra's algorithm.

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?
