Abstract

Objectives for traffic engineering in IP core networks can be different for different Quality-of-Service classes. In this paper we study the traffic engineering objectives for best-effort flows and for virtual leased line service flows. We propose mixed integer linear program- ming models that can be used for off-line centralized traffic engineering with label switched paths, and develop efficient algorithms for their ap- proximate solution. We quantify the effect of the choice of the objective chosen for traffic engineering on the network performance, and assess the benefits of distributing the traffic between a single border node pair over multiple paths.
