Having explored much in the way of MPLS fundamentals, we can now take a look at one of the greatest challenges confronting network analysts today: traffic engineering. Effective traffic engineering employs a variety of skills, tactics, and methodologies; we explore some of them in this chapter. Volumes could be devoted the science of managing network traffic, but we skim the surface here to gain an understanding of how it applies specifically to MPLS in terms of measurements, procedures, and protocols involved. Practical applications and hands-on exercises are included to supplement the chapter material.
