A SURVEY OF STATE ESTIMATION AND APPLICATION FOR ALLOCATION LSP CAPACITY ON MPLS NETWORK

For most of the measuring methods of traditional control theory, measuring equipments are located at the output of the system to measure quantities transformed from non-electrical form into electrical one. This method helps us to define the value of parameters to be measured, but it has limitation because it can only assess the efficiency of a movement process. That means we can not understand the inner kinetics which is the essence of the system. In the modern control theory, states of system are considered as the feedback to the control process, which helps us to assess the elements in the inside of the system. In this paper, we survey methods for estimating states being not exposed to the correct measurements. Using this method, we also suggest an application for giving an estimate of the traffic on the LSPs to adapt the network configuration for changing traffic conditions.
