Abstract

The thrust of this study is to construct an MPLS test‐bed using open hardware and software and later use this test‐bed for experimenting with various traffic engineering options available with MPLS. We have constructed a test‐bed using Pentium PCs and Linux and used this test‐bed to try a well‐known MPLS traffic engineering feature of separating flows into multiple trunks. The purpose of this separation is to experimentally assess the quality of service benefits we can expect from MPLS networks. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley &Sons, Ltd.
