Edge Router Multicasting With MPLS Traffic Engineering

Tags:
switching

Overview Explicit routing in MPLS is utilized in traffic engineering to maximize the operational network performance and to provide Quality of Service (QoS). However, difficulties arise while integrating native IP multicasting with MPLS traffic engineering, such as point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint LSPs layout design and traffic aggregation. This paper have proposed an Edge Router Multicasting (ERM) scheme by limiting branching point of multicast delivery tree to only the edges of MPLS domains. As a result, multicast LSP setups, multicast flow assignments, and multicast traffic aggregation are reduced to unicast problems. Two types of ERM routing protocols are studied in the paper.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

There are three main functions of MPLS, quality of service, traffic engineering - which includes a unique ability to re-route traffic very quickly in case of network failure - and enabling virtual private networks (VPNs).

Comment & Analysis

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). Managed MPLS networks give carriers much better control of the network right from the core to the edge.

Cisco buys start-up

Some experts predict Cisco will use the new BCN technology to refresh the company's aging 7600 and 10000 edge router platforms, which are designed for the carrier market. Cisco introduced a new core IP router, the CRS-1, in May.

VoIP: Don't forget about security

You can throw a huge amount of junk at the router but quality of service lets you carry on without dropping any voice packets. QoS [quality of service] is a key enabler when securing the network because we define certain types of traffic that are...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

Because the range of a wi-fi link is limited to a few hundred meters, every vehicle also serves as a router, allowing messages to be sent via a multi-hop process to vehicles farther away, otherwise known as mesh networking.

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?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
