This paper proposed that an MPLS-based VPN using next-generation If switches and appropriate set of traffic engineering algorithms is the best way to implement QoS-capable IP VPNs. While ATM-based solution would not rely scalable the number of connections becomes too large, MPLS-based VPNs’ efficiency could be confirmed network delay time through performance evaluation. And we evaluated the performance about the If VPN based on proposed MPLS, at the result of evaluation. We figured out that delay increased more slowly in case of VPN based on MPLS comparing with the VPN based on ATM which has rapid delay increasement. Therefore we confirm that the VPN based on MPLS has high speed of packet processing and high degree of network efficiency through the performance evaluation.

The forwarding enging, which handles the incoming frames and forwards them to the appropriate outgoing interface, is the crucial factor of the router´s performance. As the MPLS label edge router provides the facility that it is capable of interworking with various kinds of networks, the forwarding engine should have the flexibility processing the corresponding types of frames from such network interfaces. In order to support the flexibility, we implement the forwarding engine for the MPLS LER with ATM interfaces based on the programmable Ethernet packet processor. By exploiting instinct loop-back functionality of Ethernet packet processor, our forwarding engine handles and forwards the frames from/to ATM interfaces. The performance of our forwarding engine is evaluated by experiments on the effect of looping frames back and the number of Ethernet packet processor´s instructions.

A number of MPLS ATM systems have been proposed to increase the access speed of current routers, which only support the best-effort service. However, the MPLS ATM systems have to support the so-called differential service, which discriminates the applications according to the service class because they do not be satisfied the Internet users who use diverse applications. In this paper, to support this differential service a detailed forwarding procedure based on a LSP control method and an application-based marking algorithm is suggested. The LSP control method establishes several different LSPs for each FEC according to the service class and the application-based marking algorithm chooses a proper differential service depending on the application category. Also, a design scheme of forwarding engine, which can be easily implemented with a minimum modification of existing MPLS ATM systems is proposed. And, the best simulation result of high priority application category is gained when the proposed forwarding algorithm is comparedwithexistingalgorithms.

This paper proposes a flow-based admission control algorithm through an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network for multiple service class environments of Integrated Service (IntServ) and Differentiated Service (DiffServ). We propose the Integrated Packet Scheduler to accommodate IntServ and Best Effort traffic through the DiffServ-aware MPLS core network. The numerical results of the proposed algorithm achieve reliable delay-bounded Quality of Service (QoS) performance and reduce the blocking probability of high priority service in the DiffServ model. We show the performance behaviors of IntServ traffic negotiated by end users when their packets are delivered through the DiffServ-aware MPLS core network. We also show that ATM shortcut connections are well tuned with guaranteed QoS service. We validate the proposed method by numerical analysis of its performance in such areas as throughput, end-to-end delay and path utilization.

최근 인터넷의 급속한 사용 증가로 인해 전송 링크의 광대역 지원과 멀티미디어 트래픽의 QoS 보장 문제, 향상된 IP 서비스의 제공 문제 해결은 필수적이다. MPLS 기술은 IP의 유연성과 확장성을 제공할 수 있는 패러다임의 하나이다. MPLS 망의 경계에 위치하는 LER은 링크 계층 뿐만 아니라 IP 계층에서도 패킷을 전달해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 하드웨어 포워딩 엔진을 갖는 MPLS LER에서, 포워딩 엔진에서 처리할 수 없는 IP 계층의 패킷에 대해서 처리할 수 있는 방안에 대해서 기술한다. 그러한 방안에 의해서 하드웨어 포워딩 엔진을 장착한 LER의 패킷 전달에 관한 포워딩 엔진의 확장성을 지원하는 방법에 대해서 연구한다. 본 논문에서 제시된 기법은 ATM기반 MPLS LER에 적용되어 구현되었다.

This paper addresses how to be connected with end-to-end shortcut using ATM Switched Virtual Connection (SVC) in ATM-based Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Networks. Without additionally existing ATM Ships-in-the-Night (SIN) mode, when the stream is continuously transmitted at the same destination with the lapse of determined aging time, the connection is changed with end-to-end shortcut connection using ATM signaling. An ATM direct short circuit is performed an IP and ATM effective integration. An ATM shortcut has a number of advantages, like higher throughput, shorter end-to-end delay, reduced router load, better utilization of L2 Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, and route optimization. In particular between other MPLS domains, this can be efficiently improved the performance of networks.

For high-speed Internet services, considerations on interworking methods are required for interworking between networks with different technologies. lnterworking and structures in interworking point nodes can affect on transfer efficiency. This paper proposes interworking procedures and functions of the edge routers for overhead reduction in MPOA-MPLS networks. The MPLS networks can be based on ATM technology. Therefore, we consider ATM seamless connections for the interworking and compare the proposed method with that without seamless connection. We perform computer simulations to get both of the transfer delays and throughputs for the comparison., we describe required interworking functions and operations in the edge routers.

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.

최근 들어 인터넷의 사용이 급격히 증가함에 따라 인터넷의 백본망에는 패킷 전달의 고속성, 확장성 뿐만 아니라 QOS 보장을 요구하게 되었다. 효과적인 인터넷 백본망을 구현하기 위해 본 논문에서는 Multi-Protocol Label Switching(MPLS)를 고려하고 MPLS 에서 인터넷 Quality Of Service(QOS) 서비스 모델 중 백본망에 적합한 Differentiated Service(DS) 모델을 그대로 제공하기 위해 MPLS 와 DS 의 연동에 대한 문제를 다룬다. 우선 MPLS 에서 QOS 제공을 위한 기능요소를 정성적으로 분석한다. 그리고 두 DS 망 가운데 ATM 기반의 MPLS 망을 두고 있는 경우를 가정하여, 종단대 종단간 DS 제공을 위하여 DS 망과 MPLS 망에서의 시그널링 과정을 제안한다. 즉, DS 의 BB 로부터 SLA 를 위한 신호를 MPLS 의 입구 라우터에서 해석하여 DS Type-Length-Value(TLV)를 만들고 이를 이용하여 Constraint-based Label Distribution Protocol(CR-LDP) 시그널링을 통해 마다 Label-Only-Inferred-PSC LSP(L-LSP)를 설립하여 MPLS 에서 DS QOS 를 그대로 제공한다. 또한 입구 DS BB 로부터의 정보를 MPLS 망을 통해 BB 에게 보낸다.
