Traffic measurements supporting end-to-end QoS requirements in MPLS networks

Recently most of the lSPs are planning their migration towards MPLS networks to support further the requirements of the network-based applications. As a result, the quantitative and qualitative aspects of MPLS services are focused on. However, there is no yardstick for quantifying the MPLS transfer performance, especially end-to-end QoS. In this paper, we propose MPLS traffic parameters and MPLS QoS parameters used in control and management of MPLS traffic to guarantee the end-to-end QoS of services demands.
