An Optimized Link Management Algorithm for Handling Link Failure in MPLS
This paper presents an effective solution for link failure and congestion management in MPLS networks which employs RRATE algorithm. The contributions of this work are two fold. The first is that an algorithm for link failure and congestion management in MPLS Networks is proposed. The MPLS Networks that we have used in our simulation employs RRATE algorithm for traffic engineering. Till date the performance of RRATE algorithm has been only tested on synthetic networks on idealistic conditions. Hence the algorithm does not address network link failure issues. Secondly, situations are considered where there are realistic link ups and downs occurring in a network and an efficient rerouting mechanism on link failure is suggested. The performance of the RRATE algorithm is also analyzed.
Keywords: Delay, real time conditions, RRATE, MPLS, active networking, network processor
