Abstract

Recent advent of broad bandwidth wireless and optical networks makes the resilience of information and communication service to system failures to become a critical issue. In this article, we present a methodology for MPLS VPN service management employing a resilience model. The methods can dynamically configure the service paths of MPLS VPN satisfying the TE resilience requirement from the customers. Specifically, we describe backup path design rules and derive the conditions for testing the availability of feasible backup paths satisfying the resilience constraints in a full mesh MPLS VPN. We present fast backup path construction algorithms which could make the MPLS VPN service to be available with minimal disruption, satisfying the resilience requirement from the customers. The simulation has been done to evaluate the performance and service availability in a BGP/MPLS backbone network with full mesh structure.
