Managing large IP networks requires an understanding of the current traffic flows, routing policies, and network configuration. However, the state of the art for managing IP networks involves manual configuration of each IP router, and traffic engineering based on limited measurements. The networking industry is sorely lacking in software systems that a large Internet service provider can use to support traffic measurement and network modeling, the underpinnings of effective traffic engineering. This article describes the AT&T Labs NetScope, a unified set of software tools for managing the performance of IP backbone networks. The key idea behind NetScope is to generate global views of the network on the basis of configuration and usage data associated with the individual network elements. Having created an appropriate global view, we are able to infer and visualize the networkwide implications of local changes in traffic, configuration, and control. Using NetScope, a network provider can experiment with changes in network configuration in a simulated environment rather than the operational network. In addition, the tool provides a sound framework for additional modules for network optimization and performance debugging. We demonstrate the capabilities of the tool through an example traffic engineering exercise of locating a heavily loaded link, identifying which traffic demands flow on the link, and changing the configuration of intradomain routing to reduce the congestion 相似文献

Providing differentiated services in IP/MPLS over WDM networks has attracted a lot of recent attention. This article extends
the Path Inflation Control (PIC) policy recently proposed by us to provide differentiated services in IP/MPLS over WDM networks
with traffic grooming. Three different algorithms are considered for provisioning differentiated services. The simulation
results show that, with two of the three algorithms, the network cannot only provide differentiated services when the traffic
load is high but also gives significantly lower blocking for the lower priority class traffic and for the overall traffic
at low traffic loads.

MPLS advantages for traffic engineering 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
This article discusses the architectural aspects of MPLS which enable it to address IP traffic management. Specific MPLS architectural features discussed are separation of control and forwarding, the label stack, multiple control planes, and integrated IP and constraint-based routing. The article then discusses how these features address network scalability, simplify network service integration, offer integrated recovery, and simplify network management. Scalability is addressed through integrated routing enabling a natural assignment of traffic to the appropriate traffic engineering tunnels without requiring special mechanisms for loop prevention. Change is greatly reduced. The label stack enables an effective means for local tunnel repair providing fast restoration. Feedback through the routing system permits fast and intelligent reaction to topology changes. Service integration is simplified through a unified QoS paradigm which makes it simple for services to request QoS and have it mapped through to traffic engineering 相似文献

In this article an automated manager called traffic engineering automated manager (TEAM) for DiffServ/MPLS networks is introduced, and its design and implementation details are discussed. TEAM is designed for complete automated management of an Internet domain. TEAM is an adaptive manager that provides the required quality of service to the users and reduces the congestion in the network. The former is achieved by reserving bandwidth resources for the requests and the latter by distributing the load efficiently. These goals are achieved by online measurements of the network state. TEAM is composed of a traffic engineering tool (TET), which adaptively manages the bandwidth and routes in the network, a measurement and performance evaluation tool (MPET), which measures important parameters in the network and inputs them to the TET, and a simulation tool (ST), which may be used by TET to consolidate its decisions. These three tools work in synergy to achieve the desired network operation objectives. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of TEAM as a network manager in different and unpredictable traffic conditions at the expense of a limited increase in the computational complexity and costs. 相似文献

New preemption policies for DiffServ-aware traffic engineering to minimize rerouting in MPLS networks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The preemption policy currently in use in MPLS-enabled commercial routers selects LSPs for preemption based only on their priority and holding time. This can lead to waste of resources and excessive number of rerouting decisions. In this paper, a new preemption policy is proposed and complemented with an adaptive scheme that aims to minimize rerouting. The new policy combines the three main preemption optimization criteria: number of LSPs to be preempted, priority of the LSPs, and preempted bandwidth. Weights can be configured to stress the desired criteria. The new policy is complemented by an adaptive scheme that selects lower priority LSPs that can afford to have their rate reduced. The selected LSPs will fairly reduce their rate in order to accommodate the new high-priority LSP setup request. Performance comparisons of a nonpreemptive approach, a policy currently in use by commercial routers, and our policies are also investigated. 相似文献

One of the most important tasks for dynamic traffic grooming in IP/MPLS over WDM networks is to decide when and where to set up new lightpaths to provide bandwidth for the IP/MPLS layer. In this paper, we adapt the conventional saturated cut method to enhance the lightpath establishment capability of various traffic grooming policies proposed earlier. Heuristic modifications are also presented which provide almost the same level of performance with much lower complexity. 相似文献

In this paper, an approach to efficient traffic engineering in the DiffServ-aware network environment is proposed. We focus to distance vector-based routing protocols, considering both modifications of routing protocols needed to support path differentiation and traffic engineering methods relied on adjusting multiple per-link costs to particular network conditions. Further, a method for determining link cost of particular traffic class, as a unique generic function of the single generalized performance metric has been proposed. In order to achieve efficient traffic engineering, possible approximations of generic cost function and mappings of generalized to particular metrics have been proposed. Finally, prerequisites for implementing proposed approach have been discussed in the context of different administrative policies and time scales of their application. 相似文献

This paper proposes an efficient overlay multicast provisioning (OMP) mechanism for dynamic multicast traffic grooming in overlay IP/MPLS over WDM networks. To facilitate request provisioning, OMP jointly utilizes a data learning (DL) scheme on the IP/MPLS layer for logical link cost estimation, and a lightpath fragmentation (LPF) based method on the WDM layer for improving resource sharing in grooming process. Extensive simulations are carried out to evaluate the performance of OMP mechanism under different traffic loads, with either limited or unlimited port resources. Simulation results demonstrate that OMP significantly outperforms the existing methods. To evaluate the respective influences of the DL scheme and the LPF method on OMP performance, provisioning mechanisms only utilizing either the IP/MPLS layer DL scheme or the WDM layer LPF method are also devised. Comparison results show that both DL and LPF methods help improve OMP blocking performance, and contribution from the DL scheme is more significant when the fixed routing and first-fit wavelength assignment (RWA) strategy is adopted on the WDM layer. Effects of a few other factors, including definition of connection cost to be reported by the WDM layer to the IP/MPLS layer and WDM-layer routing method, on OMP performance are also evaluated. 相似文献

Multicasting applications such as multimedia conferencing, online multiplayer interactive games, and distance learning are becoming increasingly popular. With multiprotocol label switching, Internet protocol networks can offer quality of service and traffic engineering capabilities. This article introduces several approaches for multisource multicast sessions in the context of IP over WDM networks and evaluates their performance in terms of blocking probability, time complexity, and memory consumption. Our simulation study shows that among all the approaches, the newly proposed approach, known as one Bidirectional Tree with Just enough bandwidth reserved on each link of the tree, achieves the best overall performance. 相似文献

RATES: a server for MPLS traffic engineering 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It has been suggested that one of the most significant reasons for multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network deployment is network traffic engineering. The goal of traffic engineering is to make the best use of the network infrastructure, and this is facilitates by the explicit routing feature of MPLS, which allows many of the shortcomings associated with current IP routing schemes to be addressed. This article 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. The RATES implementation consists of a policy and flow database, a browser-based interface for policy definition and entering resource provisioning requests, and a Common Open Policy Service protocol server-client implementation for communicating paths and resource information to edge routers. RATES also uses the OSPF topology database for dynamically obtaining link state information. RATES can set up bandwidth-guaranteed label-switched (LSPs) between specified ingress-egress pairs. The path selection for LSPs is on a new minimum-interference routing algorithm aimed at making the best use of network infrastructure in an online environment where LSP requests arrive one by one with no a priori information about future requests. Although developed for an MPLS application, the RATES implementation has many similarities in components to an intradomain differentiated services bandwidth broker 相似文献

In this paper, we consider a traffic engineering (te) approach toip networks in a hybridigp/mpls environment. Thoughigp (Interior Gateway Protocol) routing has proven its scalability and reliability, effective traffic engineering has been difficult to achieve in public IP networks because of the limited functional capabilities of conventionalip technologies.mpls (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) on the one hand enhances the possibility to engineer traffic onip networks by allowing explicit routes. But on the other hand it suffers from the scalability (n-square) problem. Hybridigp/mpls approaches rely onip native routing as much as possible and usempls only if necessary. In this work we propose a novel hybrid traffic engineering method based on genetic algorithms, which can be considered as an offlinete approach to handle long or medium-term traffic variations in the range days, weeks or months. In our approach the maximum number of hops anlsp (Label Switched Path) may take and the number oflsps which are applied solely to improve the routing performance, are treated as constraints due to delay considerations and the complexity of management. We apply our method to the German scientific network (b-win) for which a traffic matrix is available and also to some other networks with a simple demand model. We will show results comparing this hybridigp/mpls routing scenario with the result of pureigp routing and that of a full meshmpls with and without traffic splitting. 相似文献

IP network configuration for intradomain traffic engineering 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
《IEEE network》2001,15(5):46-57
The smooth operation of the Internet depends on the careful configuration of routers in thousands of autonomous systems throughout the world. Configuring routers is extremely complicated because of the diversity of network equipment, the large number of configuration options, and the interaction of configuration parameters across multiple routers. Network operators have limited tools to aid in configuring large backbone networks. Manual configuration of individual routers can introduce errors and inconsistencies with unforeseen consequences for the operational network. In this article we describe how to identify configuration mistakes by parsing and analyzing configuration data extracted from the various routers. We first present an overview of IP networking from the viewpoint of an Internet service provider and describe the kinds of errors that can appear within and across router configuration files. To narrow the scope of the problem, we then focus our attention on the configuration commands that relate to traffic engineering-tuning the intradomain routing protocol to control the flow of traffic through the ISP network. We present a case study of a prototype tool, developed in collaboration with AT&T IP Services, for checking the configuration of the AT&T IP Backbone and providing input to other systems visualization and traffic engineering 相似文献
