Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a high performance method for forwarding packets (frames) through a network. It enables routers at the edge of a network to apply simple labels to packets (frames). we use MPLS in the core network for internet. MPLS provide high speed switching and traffic engineering in MPLS domain but at the Label Edge Router(LER) there is frequently cell discarding via congestion and buffer management method. It is one of the most important reasons retransmission and congestion. In this paper we propose advanced LER scheme that provide less cell loss rate also efficient network infrastructure.

Using the general switch management protocol on a multi-protocol label switching network, we present an efficient method for handling handovers. The proposed method directly changes an established path into a new path for supporting a handover. Our investigation reveals the effects of the proposed scheme and demonstrates that this method significantly reduces signaling costs and delays.

In this paper, we proposed a high speed IP(Internet Protocol) packet forwarding engine of ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) based label edge routers for POS(Packet over SONET) interface. The forwarding engine uses TCAM(Ternary Content Addressable Memory) for high performance lookup processing of the packet received from POS interface. We have accomplished high speed IP packet forwarding in hardware by implementing the functions of high speed IP header Processing and lookup control into FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). The proposed forwarding engine has the functions of label edge routers as the lookup controller supports MPLS(Multiprotocol Label Switching) packet processing functionality.

The Internet with conventional routing scheme cannot meet user demands driven from drastic growth in the Internet user and various service and traffic type. MPLS(Multi Protocol Label Switching) was introduced to the Internet fur solution to resolve this problem. MPLS is a paradigm to integrate higher layer’s software routing functions including layer-3 routing with layer-2 switching. But, the exponential growth of Internet traffic brings out of label space. One scalable solution to cope with this problem is to introduce flow merge technique, i. e. a group of flows is forwarded using the same label. Specially, IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) recommends that ATM based MPLS system may include VC merge function, so it is scalable to increase of internet traffic. We implemented the MPLS LER system that includes the look-up and forwarding function in incoming path and VC merging function and limited traffic management function in outgoing path. This paper describes the implementation of the LER’s outgoing parts.

레이어2 스위칭과 레이어3 라우팅의 통합 모델로써 MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching) 환경에서 ATM LSR(Label-Switching Routers)은 백본망에서의 고속 전송이 가능하여 현재의 라우터 구조로써 제안되어지고 있다. MPLS가 코어 라이터로써 적용이 될 경우 확장성을 위해 label merging이라는 기술이 필요하다. VC(Virtual Circuit) merging은 ATM LSR에서 많은 IP 라우터를 하나의 라벨로 매핑을 시키며 수천 개의 목적지에 전송할 수 있는 확장성 있는 매핑 기술이다. VC merging은 같은 목적지인 다른 패킷들 간의 셀들의 섞임을 방지하기 위해 재 조합 버퍼가 요구된다. 재 조합 버퍼 사용시 일시적인 체증 현상이 발생하며 Non-VC merging과 비교시 많은 셀 손실과 많은 버퍼를 요구하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 RED(Random Early Detection) 알고리즘을 적용하여 VC merging이 필요한 버퍼의 요구량과 셀 손실을 줄였다.

In this paper, we propose a new signaling protocol as an extension of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based PCE protocol for control carrier ethernet. The proposed protocol is not only compatible with the GMPLS PCE standard protocol, but also provides the topology discovery and configuration. In order to verify interoperability, we implement the proposed protocol as well as the system integrating functions including commercial system for testbed. In addition, we have simulated topology discovery test for proposed protocol performance.

This paper presents a new enhanced dynamic and multilayer protection(DMP) routing scheme that considers cooperation between packet and wavelength switching domain in order to minimize the resource consumption. The paper describes the architecture of the multilayer network scenario and compares the proposed algorithm with other routing mechanisms applying protection at the IP/multi-protocol label switching(MPLS) layer or at the optical layer. Simulation results show that DMP reduces the number of optical-electrical-optical(o-e-o) operations and makes an efficient use of the network resources compared to non-multilayer proposals.

In this paper, we present the general interface, label-switched path structure and link bundling in GMPLS to improve the scalability. The LMP protocol is also introduced to efficiently manage the internal link, and the signaling protocol, hierarchical path setup, hi-directional LSP setup and suggested label method are presented. Finally, the techniques of protection and restoration are presented. In specific, various applicable restoration techniques in GMPLS are discussed.

ETF made the RFCs of MPLS technologies for providing the QoS of ATM or Frame Relay and the flexibility&scalability of IP on the Internet services. IETF has been expanding MPLS technologies as a common control component for supporting the various switching technologies called GMPLS. Also, IETF has standardized the signaling protocols based on such technologies, such as LDP, CR-LDP and RSVP-TE. ETRI developed the MPLS system based on ATM switch in order to provide more reliable services, differentiated services and value-added services like the VPN and traffic engineering service on the Korea Public Sector network. We are planning on deploying model services and commercial services on that network. This paper explains the basic functions of LDP, design and development of LDP on our system, and compares with LDP development and operation on other MPLS systems made by Cisco, Juniper, Nortel and Riverstone. In conclusion, this paper deduces the future services and applications by LDP through these explanation and comparison.
