MPLS Traffic Engineering George Swallow swallow@ What is Traffic Engineering Taking control of how traffic flows in your network in order to - Improve overall network performance Offer premium services As a tactical tool to deal with network design issues when the longer range solution are not deployed Voice Traffic Engineering Telco’s noticed that demands vary widely by time of day Began “engineering the traffic” long ago Evolved over time Now fully automated Reasons for Traffic Engineering Economics – more packets, fewer $$$ Address deficiencies of IP routing Tactical tool for network operations Class-of-service routing Economics of Traffic Engineering “The efficacy with which one uses the available bandwidth in the transmission fabric directly drives the fundamental ‘manufacturing efficiency’ of the business and its cost structure.” The “Fish” Problema deficiency in IP routing Deficiencies in IP Routing Chronic local congestion Load balancing Across long haul links Size of links Difficult to get IP to make good use unequal size links without overloading the lower speed link Load Balancing Making good use of expensive links simply by adjusting IGP metrics can be a frustrating exercise! Overlay Motivation “The use of the explicit Layer 2 transit layer gives us very exacting control of how traffic uses the available bandwidth in ways not currently possible by tinkering with Layer 3-only metrics.” The Overlay Solution Layer 2 network used to manage the bandwidth Layer 3 sees a complete mesh Overlay Drawbacks Extra network devices (cost) More complex network management Two-level network without integrated NM Additional training, technical support, field engineering IGP routing doesn’t scale for meshes Number of LSPs generated for a failed router is O(n3); n = number of routers Traffic Engineering MPLS MPLS fuses Layer 2 and Layer 3 Layer 2 capabilities of MPLS canbe exploited for IP traffic engineering Single box / network solution An LSP Tunnel Comprehensi
