This paper suggests MPLS restoration method that use an aggregation tree. For the restoration of the MPLS network, this paper presents a scheme that reconstruct multiple path through aggregation tree that grow from many node to a target node. Contrary to a multicast tree where a message that send at one node is passed to a group of node, an aggregation tree is a tree that data is passed from many node to one destination node. Through an experiment we confirmed that the restoration scheme that uses aggregation tree shows taster speed comparing with the existing other restoration scheme.

In this paper, we present a methodology for fast segment restoration under multiple simultaneous link failures in mesh-type MPLS networks. The salient feature of the methodology is that both resilience and QoS constraint conditions have been taken into account for fast segment restoration. For fast restoration, a sufficient condition for testing the existence of backup segments with guaranteed-resilience has been derived for a mesh-type MPLS network. The algorithms for constructing backup segments which can meet both resilience and QoS constraint conditions are then presented with illustrating examples. Finally, simulation has been done to show the efficiency of the proposed segment restoration algorithms.

MPLS networks architectures have been prevailed as scalable approach to provide quality of service in the Internet. Many researches have been mainly focused on scalability and multi-path calculation scheme for failure restoration. However, the MPLS network have an scalability problem about traffic, and the existing failure restoration methods are wasted resources, and it has the problem that loss of a packet by a lot of delay occurs in too. Therefore in this paper, we propose a H-MPLS (Hierachical-Multiprotocol Label Switching)network for rapidly failure restorations and effective management of network extended. The proposed H-MPLS Network apply LSP multi-path routing algorithm and consists of several MPLS. After comparing the performance among the existing failure restoration methods with various network models, we use NS simulator in order to analyze the performance. Finally, we present an improvement scheme of the efficiency and scalability.

We propose a new MPLS restoration scheme that uses network resources more efficiently and minimizes the backup path cost effectively. Contrary to other restoration strategies, the proposed restoration scheme starts the recovery action at the selected node of a working LSP. At LSP setup, the working and backup path cost is evaluated and the starting node of restoration is designated. By doing so, the restoration speed could be further increased and resource utilization could be maximized. We simulated the proposed scheme and compared with other restoration and protection schemes. The result shows that our scheme can provide fast restoration with acceptable delay and loss characteristics.

To increase network survivability and to guarantee reliable services in MPLS networks, when failures occur either at any link or node of a working path, traffics on the failed path should be switched to other restoration paths. In this paper, we propose a path restoration method using duplication of working paths for link failure and its associated failure detection method, which utilizes OAM cells when all the duplicated links or nodes of the path failed. We analyze the performance of the proposed restoration method and show that especially the method is very efficient to restore high priority traffics. Also, through simulation we prove that the proposed restoration method is superior in performance to several existing methods suggested so far.

Today's Internet does not have efficient traffic engineering mechanism to support QoS for the explosive increasing internet traffic such as various multimedia traffic. This functional shortage degrades prominently the quality of service, and makes it difficult to provide multi-media service and real-time service. Various technologies are under developed to solve these problems. IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) developed the MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) technology that provides a good capabilities of traffic engineering and is independent layer 2 protocol, so MPLS is expected to be used in the Internet backbone network$\^$[1][2]/. The faults occurring in high-speed network such as MPLS, may cause massive data loss and degrade quality of service. So fast network restoration function is essential requirement. Because MPLS is independent to layer 2 protocol, the fault detection and reporting mechanism for restoration should also be independent to layer 2 protocol. In this paper, we present the experimental results of the MPLS OAM function for the performance monitoring and fault detection 'll'&'ll' notification, localization in MPLS network, based on the OPNET network simulator

Path restoration, which is needed to increase network survivability in MPLS networks, is a technology of supplying reliable service by delivering the traffics through restoring the paths when links or nodes of a working path are failed. In this paper, we propose a path restoration method using duplication of working paths for link failure as a method of restoring paths for the high priority traffics. The existing path restoration method transmits the traffics to the path restoration uniformly in regardless of the priority while link obstacle. It has a problem to take a long time to restore the connection of the high priority traffics. On the other hand, the suggested restoration method establishes the duplication path for the working path, which transmits the high priority traffics and transmit the traffics through the duplication path. It has a strong point to restore the connection quickly. Also, through simulation we analyze the performance of the restoration system using the duplication path and prove that the proposed restoration method is superior in performance to the existing restoration methods regarding to the high priority traffics.

This paper investigates the restoration schemes which are applied to the MPLS domain upon a network failure. We define the following three restoration service models by combining the various restoration schemes: "FIS-based protection service" (FIS: failure indication signal), "inversion traffic protection service" and "1+1 protection service". After a qualitative analysis of the performance in them, we have analyzed it on quantitative basis by the simulation. According to the simulation results, "1+1 protection service" guarantees the fastest and most lossless restoration service among them; however, it results in consuming considerable bandwidth and producing an amount of control traffic, which means poor network utilization. On the other hand, "FIS-based protection service" spends less bandwidth and generates less control traffic, which means better network utilization, but produces poor restoration service. "Inversion traffic protection service" provides the medium restoration service and utilization between "1+1 protection service" and "FIS-based protection service."

본 논문에서는 MPLS 네트워크 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 기존의 경로 복원 기법들을 시뮬레이션하고 각각의 성능을 비교 분석한다. MPLS 네트워크 시뮬레이터는 레이블 스위칭 기능 및 LDP와 CR-LDP를 지원하는 시뮬레이터이다. 시뮬레이션할 경로 복원 기법으로써 가장 많이 참조되고 있는 Haskin에 의해 제안된 기법과 Makam에 의해서 제안된 기법을 선택한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, Haskin의 기법은 노드에러 시에도 패킷의 손실은 거의 없지만 노드가 복구된 후에는 트래픽이 급격히 증가할 뿐만 아니라 순서가 맞지 않는 패킷의 양도 증가는 문제가 있다. Makam의 기법은 노드 에어 시에 패킷의 손실이 큰 단점을 가지고 있다.

In this paper, we propose a subnetwork-based segment restoration scheme to reduce the restoration time and restoration resources. And we compare and analyze the restoration performance according to the size of divided subnetworks. Segment restoration is based on network partitioning where a large network is divided into several small subnetworks and the end-to-end data path is divided into multiple segments according to the subnetworks. In segment restoration, the link/node failure is restored by segment instead of end-to-end path. Because most faults are restored within the subnetwork, the restoration performance can be improved. From the simulation analysis, we verified that the proposed segment restoration has advantage of restoration time and backup resource utilization.
