Fast reroute

Participants : Bernard Cousin, Miklós Molnár, Yazid Saidi.

Fast reroute is a CRE project (France Telecom funding and partnership). The project spans 24 months.

MPLS-TE technology enables the establishment of efficient point to point or multipoint connections which should offer strict QoS guarantee. MPLS Fast Reroute proposes pro-active protection of the network connections based on pre-established backup paths. The main goal of our project is, first, to select the best paths for the backups (each backup could be shared between several connections), second to evaluate the bandwidth which should be allocated to each backup.
