Abstract
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is currently heavily used inside autonomou
s systems
for traffic engineering and VPN purposes. We study the cost of using MPLS
to carry interdomain traffic by analyzing two one day traces from two different
ISPs.
Our study shows that a hybrid MPLS+IP solution can significantly reduce the numb
er
of LSPs and signalling operations by using MPLS for high bandwidth flows
and pure IP for low bandwidth flows. However, the burstiness
of the interdomain LSPs could be a problem.
