“…To achieve load balancing, the incoming traffic is divided into traffic split ratio (α i ) along the selected multiple paths on a per packet basis by adding an identifier. Traffic split identifier can be inserted in the TTL filed of the MPLS header as proposed by Avallone et al [17]. Figure 6 shows the utilization of TTL filed to insert the traffic split identifier.…”

In recent years, Voice over IP (VoIP) has impacted global telecommunications and networking tremendously. Traffic engineering and Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for VoIP services pose a challenge for network researchers and designers. The repeated use of Internet Protocol shortest path towards the same destination may lead to unbalanced traffic situations and degraded network performance. Therefore, load balancing and link utilization become the critical functions in Internet Protocol routing for providing Quality of Service assurance for VoIP application. The aim of this work is to employ Multiprotocol Label Switching Network as a traffic engineering tool to enhance the QoS for VoIP applications. To achieve this, an effective Multiprotocol Label Switching Network load balancing architecture is developed that classifies the Internet traffic flows, routes the flows into multiple paths. Flow arrival rate, packet loss rate and delay are measured and taken as the input parameters and compared with the threshold values to identify the VoIP flow. Network load status is calculated by estimating the average buffer occupancy value and multipath routing is triggered when the network load is high to enhance the QoS. The investigated performance measures like throughput, delay and packet loss are reported to show the efficiency of the proposed technique for effective VoIP flows.

“…The Cloud Layer shows two datacenters, which are geographically connected through a private enterprise backbone network. With the aim to further increase the security level in the connection between the data-centers, we use a splitting mechanism based on MPLS [4], MultiProtocol Label Switching Protocol, that splits packet into parts and redirects them to disjoint paths, so that malicious users that intercept traffic are not able to reconstruct the messages. Each data-center has its own IaaS cluster and there is one main node which is in charge of managing the overall infrastructure.…”

Cloud Computing technology and its service model, Infrastructure as a Service, are emerging as the leading approaches to encourage the scalable and efficient utilization of resources and the convenient consumption of elastic services. Despite all the advantages that derive from the application of Cloud Computing IaaS model, when dealing with mission and safety critical infrastructures "built in the cloud", it is needed to be also aware of the security gaps and concerns. In this work we present our proposed architecture to tackle cloud security issues and we describe the first results of our experimental campaign

The present era has witnessed tremendous growth of the Internet and various applications that are supported by it. There is an enormous pressure on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to make available adequate services for the traffics like VoIP and Video on demand. Since the resources like computing power, bandwidth etc. are limited, the traffic needs to be engineered to properly exploit them. Due to these limitations, terms like Traffic Engineering, Quality of Service (QoS) came into existence. Traffic Engineering broadly includes techniques like multipath routing & traffic splitting to balance the load among different paths. In this document, we survey various techniques proposed for load balancing that are available on the Internet. We here try not to be exhaustive but analyze the important techniques in the literature. Present survey would help to give a new direction to the research in this realm
