Title: RE: how to map the traffic?

Thank you!

Do you mean the load distribution algorithms also used in ATM and other networks?

Hello

 

  It depends on your policy. If you have multiple LSP's then either you can choose

  one of them or you can choose some algorithm to distribute the traffic on the LSP's.

  For this matter you can use any load distribution algoritms.

Thanks!

Then if there are multiple LSPs between an paticular ingress-egress nodes pair, and the arriving traffic flows are destinated to the egress node, how can they decide which LSP to take? (it's out of the scope of rfc3036)

Hello

 You can read the section

2.1. FECs of the RFC 3036

hi,
I have a question about mapping the traffic. When the traffic flows
arrive the ingress LSR of MPLS domain, how are they mapped into
pre-estabished LSPs? Is it an issue of traffic engineering? Does it need
any algorithm or is there any protocol about it?

Thanks a lot!
