In the context of dynamic bandwidth allocation the QoS path provisioning for coexisted and aggregated traffic could be very important element of resource management. As we know all traffic in DiffServ/MPLS network is distributed among LSPs (Label Switching Path). Packets are classified in FEC (Forwarding Equivalence Class) and can be routed in relation to CoS (Class of Service). In the process of resource management we are looking for optimal LSP, taking care of concurrent flows traversing the network simultaneously. For better load-balancing purposes and congestion avoidance the LSP creation can be done off-line, possible during negotiation process. The main difference from well known routing techniques is that optimal LSP need not to be necessarily the shortest path solution as it is in the case of typical on-line routing (e.g. with OSPF protocol).
