MPLS Based Best Effort Traffic Engineering
Overview The advent of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables traffic engineering by introducing connection-oriented features of forwarding packets over arbitrary non-shortest paths. The goal of this research is to improve the network utilization for best effort traffic in IP networks. By examining the best effort traffic class, this paper assume the large volume of research that has been conducted on traffic engineering for assured forwarding and expedited forwarding with admission control allows traffic engineering on those traffic classes. The paper examine a different and in some sense a "More complex" problem (traffic demands are not known a priori) of traffic engineering for the remaining network bandwidth which is utilized by best effort traffic.
