Chapter 5. MPLS Traffic Engineering
This chapter covers the following topics:
You have seen in the previous chapters how metro Ethernet Layer 2 (L2) services can be deployed over an MPLS network. You also learned about the concept of pseudowires and label switched path (LSP) tunnels. The LSP tunnels are simply a means to tunnel the pseudowires from one end of the MPLS cloud to the other with the opportunity of aggregating multiple pseudowires within a single LSP tunnel. The LSP tunnels themselves can be constructed manually, or via MPLS signaling using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) or RSVP traffic engineering (TE). TE is an important ...
