VoIP(Voice over IP) Delay PSTN PSTN Internet GW GW PC-to-PC Architecture Gateway Architecture PSTN (Modem) PSTN (Modem) Internet 30~100* msec 30~100* msec 70~110 msec 140~460 msec 170~500 msec 100~210 msec Total delay is dominated by sound card and modem delay(100~430msec). Hard to reduce below 100msec of End-to-End delay. *Case of measured link delay at Chicago-California(2000 miles).
VoIP Quality Characteristic 20% A Potentially useful 10% Good B C 5% N D Toll Quality Delay 100ms 150ms 400ms N: The present quality limitation of VoIP A: Case of insufficient buffer on the path (high loss, low delay) B,C: Case of suitable buffer on the path D: Case of sufficient buffer on the path (low loss, high delay) Loss Required below 7% of loss and below 120msec of delay for reasonable voice quality.

Requirements of Internet • VPN(Virtual Private Network) • Reduction of Teleco cost (Leased Line, Remote Access) • Reduction of INTRANET construction cost(RAS, PABX) • CoS(Class of Service) • To meet the users’ requirements in delay and loss • To support various types of traffic in the same network • Flows • Traffic engineering
MPLS and INTERNET • Appropriate for Internet Backbone • Easy to implement VPN • less processing overhead than router-based VPN • Support of CoS • strict QoS support • easy to support ‘Differentiated Service’ • Traffic Engineering Aspects • Path-level traffic control • Dynamic Bandwidth allocation
MPLS Motivations • Simplify integration of ATM and IP • Offer both ATM and native IP services in a single network • Offer benefits of traditionally found only in Level 2 networks directly to IP - Traffic Engineering, VPNs • Address major network scalability challenges • Permit graceful evolution of routing and services
MPLS extends traditional IP in the following areas: • Simplified Forwarding • Based on labels instead of longest prefix-match • Efficient Explicit Routing • Route is specified once by source at path setup time • Traffic Engineering • Split traffic load over multiple parallel or alternate routes • QoS Routing • Select routes based upon QoS requirements
MPLS Network Architecture Label Switch Router (LSR) • Switching on Label • Label swapping MPLS Domain LER Label Edge Router (LER) MPLS Control Component LER • Full-function Layer 3 routers • Label Binding based on FIB ATM Switch Fabric
MPLS Network • Routing at Layer 3, Forwardingat Layer 2 End System End System LER LSR LSR LER IP routing IP routing IP routing IP routing IP routing IP routing ATM/FR/ Ethernet (Switch or Router) ATM/FR/ Ethernet (Switch or Router) ATM/FR/ Ethernet (Switch or Router) ATM/FR/ Ethernet (Switch or Router) ATM/FR/ Ethernet ATM/FR/ Ethernet MPLS Domain
MPLS Components and Protocols • Separation allows flexibility • Simple label-swapping paradigm • Multiple Control Planes can manipulate labels • Various applications can directly manipulate label binding LDP CR-LDP Unicast Routing Multicast Routing (PIM) Traffic Engineering Differental Services QoS (RSVP) Virtual Private Networks TCP/IP Label Information Base (LIB) Per-label Forwarding, Queuing, Multicasting ATM, FR, Ethernet, SONET
MPLS Benefits • Integration of IP and ATM • New services and capabilities for IP • VPNs • Traffic Engineering • Flexibility in the delivery of new routing services • Scalability
MPLS Internet Premium Service : Super - ISP Service • Premium Internet Access Service • 1.5~155Mbps, CoS Selection and QoS Guarantee Service • Service for business user, Value-added items • High-speed Internet Access (1 or 2 Hops in a network) • High-speed Net. Server Access • Portal Server, IP/CP Server, E-business, Cyber Mall • High-speed access to International Gateway Node • VPN Service • High-speed IP-TV Broadcast Service • Role of LERas PoP and GigaPoP
MPLS Internet Backbone Service : Super - NSP Service • ISPBackbone Service • NSP Service for national ISPs • Backbone Access Service for regional ISPs • Common Int’l Gateway with Caching • Internet Traffic Exchange Service between ISPs • Role of Network Access Point • Peering Service • Service agreement between ISP and NSP • Bi-, Multilateral peering • Additional Routing Server Support • Policy-based routing, BB(Bandwidth Broker), RA(Routing Arbiter)
