RATES: A Server for MPLS Traffic Engineering

Overview It has been suggested that one of the most significant reasons for Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) network deployment is network traffic engineering. The goal of traffic engineering is to make best use of the network infrastructure and this is facilitated by the explicit routing feature of MPLS which allows the potential addressing of many shortcomings associated with current IP routing schemes. This paper describes a software system called Routing and Traffic Engineering Server (RATES) developed for MPLS traffic engineering. It also describes some new routing ideas incorporated in RATES for MPLS explicit path selection.
