This paper proposes both global and local mobility management (MM) scheme improved from Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based Mobility Management scheme (MPLS-MOB) for seamless service in Next Generation Network (NGN). The proposed scheme adds local MM on the existing MPLS-MOB which supports global MM by processing handover signaling by 2.5 layer switching via Label Switch Path (LSP) of MPLS. We numerically analyze and verify that the proposed scheme has lower handover latency time than the existing ones, such as micro-MM methods using MPLS as well as MIP and an interworking scenario between PMIP and MIP.

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.

This paper briefly reviews ITU-T recommendations associated with multi protocol label switch (MPLS) and Ethernet operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM). The broadband convergence network (BcN) architecture with a centralized network controller is introduced. An aggregation structure employing Ethernet, MPLS, and time division multiplexing (TDM) signal is presented for the BcN. A physical link failure scenario is examined to investigate how the maintenance signal is propagated between different layers.

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.

The growth of the Internet over the last several years has placed a tremendous strain on the high bandwidth Hence, the amount of internet traffic has risen sharply and it has demanded to use the limited resource. MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is regarded as a core technology for migrating to the next generation Internet. It is important to reduce the number of labels and LSP(Label Switched Path)s for network resource management. In this thesis, we considered an MPLS multicast mechanism in the current Internet. The scalability problem due to lack of labels and multicast property is one of the serious problems in MPLS multicast mechanism, we proposed a Label Aggregation algorithm that the multicast packets on same link in MPLS allocates the same label for the scalability problem. In order to support the proposed algorithm we defined a new LDP(Label Distribution Protocol) multicast field and multicast packet is copied and transmitted for multicast group links of next node in LSR(label Switch Router).

In this paper, we implement a high-speed swatch tilth the function for label integration to enhance the expansion of networks using the label space of routers efficiently on MPLS over ATM networks. We propose an appropriate hardware structure to support the VC-merge function and differentiated services simultaneously. In this paper, we use the adaptive congestion control method such as EPD algorithm in carte that there is a possibility of network congestion in output buffers of each core LSR. In addition, we justify the validity of the proposed VC-merge method through simulation and comparison to conventional Non VC-merge methods. The proposed VC-merge capable switch is modeled in VHDL. synthesized, and fabricated using the SAMSUNG 0.5um SOG process.

Recently, as Internet and its services grow rapidly, IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) introduced a new switching mechanism, MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching), to solve the problem of the scalability in Internet backbone. In this paper, we implemented the LSR loaded with VC-merging function, which causes LSR's management cost to be significantly reduced. We propose a new VC-merge function which supports differentiated services. In case of network congestion in the output buffer of each core LSR, appling link polices to the output modules of the LSR using the EPD algorithm can prevent the buffer from being overflowed. Simulation was performed for Diffserv by using multiple traffic models and investigated the impact of VC-merge method compared to non VC-merge method. The proposed switch is modeled in VHDL and fabricated using the SAMSUNG $0.5{\mu}m$ SOG process.

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.

현재는 데이터 통신망이 음성 통신망을 흡수하는 단계이다. 데이터 망이 기존의 음성 망이 가지는 영역을 포함하면서 광범위하게 활용되면서 앞으로 그 범위는 더욱 넓어질 것이다. 현재 급속히 팽창하고 있는 인터넷도 데이터 통신망이 진일보 하는데 커다란 역할을 하고 있다. 기존의 연결 지향형 방식의 패킷 통신과 달리 인터넷이 주로 비연결형 방식의 IP를 사용하기 때문에 새로운 개념의 데이터 전송이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 요구들로 인해 ATM, Gigabit Router, MPLS 등이 출현하게 되었고 현재는 MPLS가 가장 적합한 해결책으로 제시되고 있다. IETF 역시 이러한 MLS에 대한 표준안을 준비하고 있다. 이곳에서는 많은 장점을 가지는 MPLS(MultiProtocol Label Switch)망에서의 명령어 그리고 타이머를 가지는 레이블 예약방식의 경로 재설정 알고리즘을 제시한다. 방법은 경로 재설정시간을 단축하고 트래픽의 적절한 분배를 통하여 네트워크의 부하를 줄인다.

Recently, the growth of Internet and a variety of multimedia services through Internet increasingly demands high-speed packet transmission, the new routing function, and QoS guarantee on conventional routers. Thus, a new switching mechanical called the MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching), was proposed by IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) as a solution to meet these demands. In addition the deployment of MPLS network supporting Differentiated Services is required. In this paper, we propose the architecture of the MPLS switch supporting Differentiated Services in the MPLS-based network. The traffic conditioner consists of a classifier, a meter, and a marker. The VOQ-PHB module, which combines input Queue with each PHB queue, is implemented to utilize the resources efficiently. It employs the Priority-iSLIP scheduling algorithm to support high-speed switching. We have designed and verified the new and fast hardware architecture of VOQ-PHB and the traffic conditioner for QoS and high-speed switching using NS-2 simulator. In addition, the proposed architecture is modeled in VHDL, synthesized and verified by the VSS analyzer from SYNOPSYS. Finally, to justify the validity of the hardware architecture, the proposed architecture is placed and routed using Apollo tool.
