for Value Added Service Delivery
• Flexible user and service grouping (biz-to-biz)
• Flexibility of IP and the QoS of ATM
• Enables application and content hosting inside each VPN
• Transport independent
• Low provisioning costs enable affordable managed services

Trang 5What is MPLS Traffic Engineering?
order to balance the traffic load on
the various links, routers, and
switches in the network
parallel or alternate paths are
available
Trang 6Why Traffic Engineering?
• Congestion in the network due to changing traffic patterns
Election news, online trading, major sports events
• Better utilization of available bandwidth
Route on the non-shortest path
• Route around failed links/nodes
Fast rerouting around failures, transparently to users
Like SONET APS (Automatic Protection Switching)
• Virtual IP leased line services
VoIP Toll-Bypass applications, point-to-point bandwidth guarantees
• Capacity planning
TE improves aggregate availability of the network
Trang 7IP (Mostly) Uses Destination-Based Least-Cost Routing
Flows from R8 and R1 Merge at R2 and Become Indistinguishable
From R2, Traffic to R3, R4, R5 Use Upper Route

IP Routing and The Fish
Trang 8MPLS TE Application
Similar to SONET’s automatic protection switching
Goal is to match SONET restoral times—50 ms
Locally patch around lost facilities
Locally re-route around failed links/nodes
Strategies
Alternate tunnel (1->1 mapping) or
tunnel within tunnel (n->1 mapping)
How is this done?
Locally re-route traffic onto backup paths when informed
by lower layers (SONET etc.)
The backup paths are pre-established—however,
bandwidth needn’t be double counted
Trang 9Node and Link Protection
• Multiple hops can be by-passed R2 swaps the label which R4
expects before pushing the label for R6
• R2 locally patches traffic onto the link with R6
• Multiple hops can be by-passed R2 swaps the label which R4 expects before pushing the label for R6
• R2 locally patches traffic onto the link with R6
Trang 10Cisco MPLS AutoBandwidth
• Automatically increases or decreases bandwidth reserved for an
MPLS TE tunnel based on measured traffic load
Tunnels are resized within a specified range based on actual traffic rates over time Both time interval and bandwidth range are configurable.
• Makes it easy to configure and monitor bandwidth for MPLS TE
Total bandwidth for all TE tunnels
on a path
Bandwidth reserved for
a TE tunnel using Cisco AutoBandwidth allocator
Bandwidth available to other tunnels
Tunnel resized to traffic rate Time
