MPLS Protection Switching Vs. OSPF Rerouting: A Simulative Comparison

Overview Resilience is becoming a key design issue for future IP-based networks having a growing commercial importance. In the case of element failures the networks have to reconfigure in the order of a few hundred milliseconds, i.e. much faster than provided by the slow rerouting of current implementations. Several multi-path extensions to IP and timer modifications have been recently proposed providing interesting alternatives to the usage of MPLS below IP. In this paper these approaches are first described in a common context and then compared by simulations using very detailed simulation models.
