Research on T-MPLS Signaling Mechanism with Different Resource Reservation Strategies

摘要

T-MPLS is a connection-oriented packet switched solution for transport networks. In this paper, we investigate the signaling mechanism in T-MPLS control plane with BRR-N and SRR strategies and simulate it in OPNET modeler. The standardization process is pushed by ITU-T and IETF. T-MPLS is much easier to achieve a convergent packet platform for any L2 protocol. It focuses on the packet transport application that adheres to the standard groups. With the proposed mechanisms, the performance was deeply studied in this paper for the controlling overhead and the block probability of the transport network. The realization of the T-MPLS network router model and its associated structure is also presented to show the detail functional components. The convergent packet transporting platform for any L2 and L3 protocols is attractive for future telecom applications.
