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.

In this paper, we propose the alternative LSP allocation for MPLS networks required more confidence. In the first place, we must classify the user traffics by the QoS parameter. We assigned altermative LSPs on realtime traffics and then allocated alternative LSPs of non-realtime traffics. The proposed algorithm can provide more confidential alternative LSP by priority method for relatively high cost realtime traffic error. And the proposed algorithm can improve the shortage of network resources what is occured by using a few links when altermative LSPs are setup. The validity of the proposed algorithm has been justified in performance by analysis through simulation results using the program tool and comparison with conventional methods. Also, that improves 9% more than existing method in the recovery ratio-one is 89%, the other is 98%, respectively.

MPLS 망에서 설정된 LSP (Label Switched Path)내에 링크/노드 장애나 혼잡이 발생한 트래픽을 대체 경로로 우회시킴으로써 신뢰성 있는 서비스를 제공하는 것은 필수적이다. 기존에 제안된 기법들은 장애가 발생하기 전에 대체 경로를 미리 설정하기 때문에 빠른 장애 복구를 제공할 수 있지만 자원 낭비가 심하며 기본 LSP와 대체 LSP가 모두 장애인 경우에는 대처할 수가 없는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 장애를 탐지한 노드가 기본 경로상에 존재할 수 있는 가능한 모든 대체 경로 중에서 비용이 최소인 대체 경로를 계산한 후에 그 경로를 따라서 대체 LSP를 설정하는 동적 복구 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 최소 비용인 대체 경로를 계산하기 위하여 제안된 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 비교적 빠른 시간 내에 대체 LSP를 설정할 수 있으며, 자원 효율성이 높고, 기본경로와 대체 경로가 장애인 경우에도 대처할 수 있다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 링크 장애, 노드 장애, 대체 경로 장애, 그리고 동시 발생 장애에 대하여 각각 시뮬레이션 하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 기법은 기존의 기법들과 비교해서 동시 발생 장애에서는 성능이 좋지 않았지만, 링크 장애와 노드 장애의 경우에 비교적 성능이 좋았고, 기본 경로와 대체 경로가 장애인 경우에도 복구할 수 있었으며 자원 효율성에서는 월등히 우수했다.

PURPOSE. The modified lateral-screw-retained implant prosthesis (LSP) is designed to combine the advantages of screw- and cement-retained implant prostheses. This retrospective study evaluated the mechanical and biological complication rates of implant-supported single crowns (ISSCs) inserted with the modified LSP in the posterior region, and determined how these complication rates are affected by clinical factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Mechanical complications (i.e., lateral screw loosening [LSL], abutment screw loosening, lateral screw fracture, and ceramic fracture) and biological complications (i.e., peri-implant mucositis [PM] and peri-implantitis) were identified from the patients' treatment records, clinical photographs, periapical radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and clinical indices. The correlations between complication rates and the following clinical factors were determined: gender, age, position in the jaw, placement location, functional duration, clinical crown-to-implant length ratio, crown height space, and the use of a submerged or nonsubmerged placement procedure. RESULTS. Mechanical and biological complications were present in 25 of 73 ISSCs with the modified LSP. LSL (n=11) and PM (n=11) were the most common complications. The incidence of mechanical complications was significantly related to gender (P=.018). The other clinical factors were not significantly associated with mechanical and biological complication rates. CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of this study, the incidence of mechanical and biological complications in the posterior region was similar for both modified LSP and conventional implant prosthetic systems. In addition, the modified LSP is amenable to maintenance care, which facilitates the prevention and treatment of mechanical and biological complications.

MPLS enables efficient explicit routing, and thus provides great advantages in supporting traffic engineering. Exploiting this capability, we Propose a load balancing scheme which deploys a multipath routing. It is named LBM (Load Balancing in MPLS networks), and targets at efficient network utilization as well as performance enhancement. LBM establishes multiple LSP (Label Switched Path)s between a pair of ingress-egress routers, and distributes traffic over these LSPs at the new level. Its routing decision is based on both the length and the utilization of the paths. In order to enhance the efficiency of a link usage, a link is limited to be used by shorter paths as its utilization becomes higher Longer paths are considered to be candidate alternative paths as the utilization of shorter paths becomes higher. Simulation experiments are performed in order to compare the performance of LBM to that of static shortest path only scheme as well as the other representative dynamic multipath traffic distribution approaches. The simulation results show that LBM outperforms the compared approaches, and the performance gain is more significant when the traffic distribution among the ingress-egress pairs is non-uniform.

네트워크 장애로 인한 인터넷 서비스 품질의 저하는 사용자와 서비스 제공자에게 여러 가지 형태로 손실을 가져오므로 망의 우회경로 설정 및 복구방안은 중요한 요소가 되고 있다. 망 복구에 있어서 중요한 과제는 작업 경로(working path)에 대한 복구 경로(restoration path)를 설정하는 것이다. 장애가 발생하더라도 서비스의 중단이 없도록 하기 위해서는 복구 경로를 설정할 때 작업 경로의 대역을 보장할 수 있는 복구 경로를 실정해야 한다. 이를 위해 MPLS망에서는 명시적 Routing기법에 기반을 둔 Constraint-based routing이 제안되었고 또한 망의 경로 복구를 위해 정적 및 동적설정기법이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방식은 확장된 OSPF 프로토콜의 TE-LSAs를 이용하여 또 다른 virtual 망을 구성하고 기본경로 중간의 TE-LSR을 새로운 PIL로 설정하여 빠른 대체 LSP를 설정 및 복구하는 기법을 성능 비교를 통해 망 자원의 효율적 사용을 보고자 한다.
