Traffic engineering, management and applications in high-speed networks

Recent trends in data networks employ service overlays to provide virtual private networks to customers. For example, Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) employ traffic engineering methods using MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) to connect various sites of a given customer ensuring Quality of Service. Our research focusses on efficient means of transporting traffic, called traffic bundling on MPLS networks and efficient provisioning of these overlay networks with Quality of service guarantees. Our research conitnues to focus on newer flexible service models (e.g., Hose model and variants) to provision these networks with Quality of Service guarantees.
