Hi,

  I am very interested in dynamic adaptive load balancing in MPLS network. And
maybe you can read one paper "MATE: MPLS Adaptive Traffic Engineering" in
INFOCOM'01.
  I am wonder how their products guarantee a balanced network? Some sinaling
protocols such as CR-LDP only set up path. Constraint-based routing can be
used to select path for traffic engineering. Is this(constraint-based routing)
the same problem with load balancing?
  Does one provider need dynamic adptive load balancing mechanism in MPLS
network?
