On efficient traffic engineering with DV-based routing protocols in DiffServ-aware IP networks

Abstract In this paper, an approach to efficient traffic engineering in the DiffServ-aware network environment is proposed. We focus to distance vector-based routing protocols, considering both modifications of routing protocols needed to support path differentiation and traffic engineering methods relied on adjusting multiple per-link costs to particular network conditions. Further, a method for determining link cost of particular traffic class, as a unique generic function of the single generalized performance metric has been proposed. In order to achieve efficient traffic engineering, possible approximations of generic cost function and mappings of generalized to particular metrics have been proposed. Finally, prerequisites for implementing proposed approach have been discussed in the context of different administrative policies and time scales of their application.
