CiscoPress – Traffic Engineering with MPLS
Saturday, November 7th, 2009Almost every busy network backbone has some congested links while others remain underutilized. That’s because shortest-path routing protocols send traffic down the path that is shortest without considering other network parameters, such as utilization and traffic demands. Using Traffic Engineering (TE), network operators can redistribute packet flows to attain more uniform distribution across all links. [...]
