Loop detection in MPLS for wireless sensor networks

Abstract Very few technologies illustrate the fast rate of technological innovations more than wireless sensor networks. Sensor networks offer a virtual path capability to carry differentiated services efficiently across the wireless backbone. In this paper, we provide a new efficient strategy for loop detection in Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) for wireless networks—MPLS is a novel wireless networking topology that can be used to provide differentiated service, traffic engineering and quality of service in wireless networks.
