MPLS traffic engineering (TE) is often considered as synonymous with making more efficient use of network bandwidth and/or improving network availability via the capabilities of TE Fast Re-route (FRR). This session considers the theory behind traffic engineering in general, together with the benefits, limitations, and deployment considerations of MPLS TE in the context of IP traffic engineering and engineering core network availability. Consideration is also given to alternative technologies such as IGP metric based traffic engineering and IGP fast convergence, and to how quatitive decisions can be made on the relative benefits of the different approaches.
