Design, configure, and manage MPLS TE to optimize network performance Almost every busy network backbone has some solid links while others remain underutilized. MPLS TE routes traffic flows across the network by aligning resources required by a particular flow with actual backbone capacity and topology. Constraint-based routing approach feeds the network route traffic down one or more lanes, preventing unexpected congestion and enabling recovery from link or node failure. Traffic Engineering with MPLS provides information about how to use MPLS TE and associated features to maximize network bandwidth. This book focuses on real-world applications, from design scenarios to feature configurations to tools that can be used in managing and troubleshooting MPLS TE. In addition, this book addresses issues of design and scalability, together with extensive use of tips to help you hold MPLS TE on your own network.
