University: North Carolina State University Sureshkumar V. Subramanian, PhD Student Adviser/Professor: Dr. Khaled Harfoush Department: Department of Computer Science MPLS – Traffic Engineering Abstract: Support dynamic traffic engineering model where the traffic flow request will arrive at random and traverse through multiple LSPs that are configured between the ingress and egress pairs. An LSP for an incoming traffic flow is dynamically selected based on the current network congestion status and also the length of the LSP (based on number of hops) Second, these LSPs are all have bandwidth, end-to-end delay, Link utilization value and other QoS constraints. Third, maximizing the overall throughput of the traffic flows, while satisfying the link bandwidth constraints and limits the end-to-end delay. Fourth, LSPs are randomly selected using probability distribution function. Finally, Higher priority traffic flows will be admitted first to guarantee the QoS requirements.
