Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been developed as a key technology to enhance the reliability, manageability and overall quality of service of core If networks with connection-oriented tunnel LSP and traffic engineering such as constraint-based routing, explicit routing, and restoration. In this paper, we propose a control bandwidth borrowing scheme that maximizes the utilization of tunnel LSPs or physical links by an extension to the RSVP-TE label distribution protocol. MPLS-based core switching network and VPN services rely on the establishment of connection-oriented tunneled LSPs that are configured or predefined by network management systems. The mechanism of network management system varies from (i) a relatively static LSP establishment accounting, to (ii) a dynamic QoS routing mechanisms. With the use of hierarchical LSPs, the extra bandwidth that is unused by the trunk (outer) LSPs should be fully allocated to their constituent end-to-end user traffic (inner) LSPs in order to maximize their utilization. In order to find out the unused extra bandwidth in tunnel LSP or physical link and redistribute these resources to constituent LSPs, we expend the functionality of RSVP-TE and the found unused extra bandwidth is redistributed with a weight-based recursive redistribution scheme. By the extended RSVP-TE and proposed recursive redistributed scheme, we could achieve the instantaneous maximized utilization of tunnel LSP or physical link suffering from the potential under-utilization problem and guarantee the end-to-end QoS requirements. With the proposed scheme, network manager can manage more effectively the extra available bandwidth of hierarchical LSPs and maximize the instantaneous utilization of the tunneled LSP resources.

We propose a fully converged Ethernet and TDM transport system. Developed Ethernet and TDM convergence system can support not only L2VPN service and premium multimedia service based on MPLS protocol but also TDM leased line service, simultaneously. Developed convergence system can provide high reliability for Ethernet data due to support protection and restoration function of circuit based networks. Evaluation for Ethernet and TDM path was successfully performed to show the typical application of the proposed system in the legacy networks.

MPLS망 등에 적용되는 경로 수준의 복구에는 일반적으로 1+1, 1:1, 1:N등의 방법이 제안되었다. 하지만, 이 방법들은 복구 경로 설정 시 모두 자원의 낭비를 초래하며 GMPLS망에 적용 시에도 같은 문제점을 야기한다. 본 논문은 Kini[1]등이 MPLS망에 적용했던 메커니즘의 문제점인 망 자원의 낭비를 최소화하는 동시에 GMPLS망에 적용 가능한 효율적인 경로 복구 방안을 제안한다. 본 메커니즘은 작업 경로 설정 시 복구 경로에 대한 계산은 수행하지만 자원 할당을 장애가 발생할 때까지 연기함으로써 자원의 활용성은 최대화하는 동시에 실제 장애가 발생했을 경우 신속한 자원할당이 가능하도록, CR-LDP[2] Label Request 메시지 전송 시 복구 경로상의 자원을 예약하는 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 CR-LDP를 확장한다.
