Abstract

In Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks, Label Switching Routers (LSRs) cannot only transmit IP packets fast with cut-through mechanism, but also solve traffic engineering issue. In this paper, we will consider the case where real time and non-real time traffic arrive at LSR and analyze their delay and packet loss probability under the assumption that the cut-through transmission is applied only to real time traffic. Furthermore, we discuss the bandwidth allocation policy and the buffer dimensioning to meet the requirement of both real time and non-real time traffic, and show the guide for QoS provisioning in MPLS networks.
