Special Issue on Internet Traffic Engineering and Management
The best-effort Internet is evolving into next-generation
traffic-engineered and managed network supporting rich traffic
classes, quality services, and optimal utilization of global
network resources through optimized routing and traffic handling.
The Differentiated and Integrated services frameworks support
better than best-effort traffic classes, providing differentiated
quality of services (QoS) to traffic on a per micro-flow or
aggregated-flow basis. In these frameworks, QoS is provided on
conventional IGP computed shortest paths, whereas other paths may
be underutilized. But by distributing traffic on all possible
paths to a destination, both efficient utilization of global
network resources and better QoS to traffic classes can be
achieved. Internet traffic engineering also involves protecting
operational paths from path failures. MPLS traffic engineering
framework is a step towards achieving these goals. Internet
traffic engineering and management involves complex
configuration, provisioning and planning. This includes planning
of global QoS preserving primary or backup traffic paths or
trunks, re-optimization of paths, planning paths through careful
monitoring, planning for introducing new traffic based on current
configuration, provisioning, and traffic states of the network.
This special issue is intended to present research and systems
engineering challenges and solutions on Internet traffic
engineering and management. Topics include but are not limited to:
Planning and optimization of traffic path or trunk layout
Integrated management of DiffServ, IntServ,
and MPLS traffic engineering
Traffic modeling
Traffic class and path monitoring
Wireless IP traffic engineering and management
Optical IP traffic engineering and management
