IP and MPLS Traffic Engineering
Sponsored links
Prerequisites:
Familiarity with the operation of basic IP networks is assumed, and knowledge of ATM and/or MPLS networks is useful, but not required
Outline and Objectives:
Traffic engineering aims to ensure that individual flows of IP traffic achieve their QoS objectives, and that the utilisation of the network capacity is optimised. It achieves this by a combination of design, capacity planning, and operational traffic management. Once the network is live, operational traffic management ensures that techniques for reactive fault and performance management are available. A combination of IP layer techniques and ATM/MPLS techniques is typically used, together with appropriate physical layer resilience and protection. This course gives a comprehensive treatment of these different approaches to traffic engineering in large IP networks, and illustrates key topics with demonstrations.
