Title
Rerouting tunnels for MPLS network resource optimization
Abstract
In Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks, traffic demands can be routed along tunnels called Label Switched Paths (LSPs). A tunnel is characterized by a path in the network and a reserved bandwidth. These tunnels can be created and deleted dynamically, depending on traffic demand arrivals or departures. After several operations of this type, the network resource utilization can be unsatisfactory, with congestion or too long routing paths for instance. One way to improve it is to reroute tunnels; the rerouting process depends on the LSP Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.
