초록

본 논문에서는 MPLS(Multiprotocol Label Switching) 망에서 패킷 손실 없이 장애를 복구하는 기존의 fast rerouting 기법 적용 시 ingress 노드 버퍼에서 발생하는 누적 지연 문제를 해결하는 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 사용자 트래픽을 복구하기 위해서 사전에 설정된 대체 LSP(Label Switched Path)와 각 노드에 설치된 버퍼를 사용한다. Ingress 노드에서 발생하는 버퍼 지연 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 두 가지 해결방안을 제안하였다. 첫 번째 방안은 대체 LSP가 보호되는 working LSP보다 일정기간동안 큰 대역폭을 가지도록 제어하는 것이다. 장애가 복구된 후, 대체 LSP에 설정된 대역폭은 working LSP와 동일하도록 재조정된다. 두 번째 방안은 세그먼트 기반의 장애복구 기법을 적용하여 보호되는 working LSP의 길이를 줄이는 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방안들은 장애 복구 후 ingress 노드에서 버퍼 지연 문제가 발생하지 않으며, ingress 노드에서 필요로 하는 버퍼의 크기도 기존 방안보다 작다는 장점을 가진다.

In this paper, we propose a packet-lossless fast rerouting scheme at a link/node fault in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network with minimized accumulated buffer delay problem at ingress node. The proposed scheme uses a predefined, alternative LSP (Label Switched Path) In order to restore user traffic. We propose two restoration approaches. In the first approach, an alternative LSP is initially allocated with more bandwidth than the protected working LSP during the failure recovery phase. After the failure recovery, the excessively allocated bandwidth of the alternative LSP is readjusted to the bandwidth of the working LSP. In the second approach, we reduce the length of protected working LSP by using segment-based restoration. The proposed approaches have merits of (ⅰ) no buffer delay problem after failure recovery at ingress node, and (ⅱ) the smaller required buffer size at the ingress node than the previous approach.
