Abstract
Multiprotocol Label Switching commonly referred to as MPLS was the talk in the networking industry but now it is a widely deployed technology in the service provider networks. MPLS is a very effective solution to explain the various problems faced by present-day networks that include scalability, speed, management of quality of service (QoS) and also traffic engineering. It also provides an effective solution to satisfy the management of bandwidth and service requirements for the next-generation IP–based backbone networks. With the help of MPLS core network the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) has been used to create Traffic Engineering (TE) Tunnels. RSVP is a transport layer protocol which reserves some bandwidth along a route from a particular source to destination. It is predominantly used for the quick delivery of the transmission packets by the receiver side from the sender to the receiver. RSVP can be referred to as a signaling protocol that reserves some resources, for the purpose of IP unicast and multicast flows, and requests for QoS parameters for several applications. The fast reroute mechanism has been implemented in this project, for redundancy purpose. With the help of this mechanism the packets are being delivered to the customer at the receiver en faced by the MPLS core network using the Label Distribed in RSVP by 10ms for smaller sized packets (100) and by around 20ms for larger sized packets (10000) when compared to LDP.
