MPLS IMPLEMENTATION IN MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORKS ( MANETs )

This paper presents the idea of integrating the layer-II label-switching technique with the layer-III ad-hoc routing and to study the effect of MultiProtocol Label Switch (MPLS) mechanism on the performance of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs). This integration shows various effects on the QoS pramateres and in this paper, a number of these effects will be discussed through various anlyses and simulations.
