Network traffic engineering

摘要

A method of engineering traffic within a network comprises the steps of: configuring and controlling routing within the network and steering traffic through the network, wherein the steering of the traffic through the network is optimized based on routing control and configuration by evaluating interior gateway protocol weights, label switch paths within multiprotocol label switching and/or border gateway protocol properties. The method further comprises the steps of obtaining an ingress point at which content enters the network and obtaining an egress point at which content exits the network, wherein the steering of the traffic through the network is optimized based on routing control and configuration by evaluating the ingress point and the egress point.
