Absfrmt -Tbis paper develops an efficient method based on traffic flow dishibution nnd splitting for traffic engineelins in the lMpLS networks. We d e h e flow distribution as selecting one of the available Label Switch Paths (LSPs) to carry one aggregated traffic now. Flow splitting is however, the mechanism designed for muUipIe parallel LSPs to share One single aggregated flow. Our sludies show that flow distribution and flow splitting approaches readily solve the routing problems such as bottleneck and mismatch problems. An algorithm based on network bandwidth utilization is also proposed to integrate both approaches. The simolation results at the end of the paper demonstrate the effectiveness ofthe proposed approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
