Performance Evaluation of Traffic Engineering Based IP And MPLS Routine

Routers in the core network are forced for interconnec- tion of more and more networks due to the growth and popularity of the internet. Requirement for high speed connection and increase in traffic volumes are in demand due to continues increase in number of users. An effi- cient routing scheme based on assignments of labels to routed packets is forced as there is a need for conver- gence of voice and data on a single network infrastruc- ture. Delivery of IP services is enhanced through the tech- nology called Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). Benefits of internetworking and routing in Network Layer and Data Link Layer are achieved through the Multi-Pro- tocol Label switching [10]. This paper analyses the traffic flow over conventional and MPLS network with applica- tion of traffic engineering.
