MPLS - TP: LABEL SWITCH PATH: CREATION AND MANAGEMENT

MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS - TP) technology is gaining impo rtance as it becomes a dominant solution for a converged transport network in recent years. This paper outlines how MPLS - TP methodology can be implemented in the real world scenario. A comprehensive study is carried out on MPLS recovery mechanisms for protecting and restoring traffic after failure occurrence. In this paper the requirements of designing an efficient and reliable MPLS - TP label switch paths and tunnel are well considered and also set concrete evaluating criteria. In this paper, a full comprehensive simulation environment is created for a conventional network and MPLS applied over that traditional network to evaluate the comparative performance of netwo rk traffic behavior. Finally, the results are evaluated and analyzed on different versions of network simulators.
