Dynamic MPLS with Feedback

TL;DR

This paper introduces a dynamic MPLS protocol with a hop-by-hop feedback mechanism that efficiently finds shortest paths and mitigates congestion, enhancing packet forwarding speed and reliability.

Contribution

It proposes a novel hop-by-hop feedback system integrated with dynamic MPLS to improve path selection and congestion management.

Findings

Faster packet forwarding due to dynamic path selection

Reduced congestion through feedback mechanism

Enhanced reliability of MPLS networks

Abstract

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) fasten the speed of packet forwarding by forwarding the packets based on labels and reduces the use of routing table look up from all routers to label edge routers(LER), where as the label switch routers (LSRs) uses Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) or RSVP (Resource reservation Protocol) for label allocation and Label table for packet forwarding. Dynamic protocol is implemented which carries a Updates packets for the details of Label Switch Paths, along with this feedback mechanism is also introduced which find the shortest path among MPLS network and also feedback is provided which also help to overcome congestion, this feedback mechanism is on a hop by hop basis rather than end to end thus providing a more reliable and much faster and congestion free path for the packets.
