Motivations
• A MPLS Network Simulator (MNS) is available in the Network
Simulator 2 (NS2)
• developed at Chungnam National University, Korea
• based on the Constrained Routing – Label Distribution Protocol (CR-LDP)
• But …
– IETF RFC 3468 states:
• “Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Working Group within the IETF focus
its efforts on “Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)-TE: Extensions to
RSVP for Label-Switched Paths (LSP) Tunnels” (RFC 3209) as the MPLS
signalling protocol for traffic engineering applications and undertake no new
efforts relating to “Constraint-Based LSP Setup using Label Distribution
Protocol (LDP)” (RFC 3212)”.
– CCAMP Working Group survey
• A survey of GMPLS implementations was published in June 2002. It includes
responses from 22 different implementers. Twenty-one of 22
implementations include the GMPLS signalling based on RSVP-TE while
only 3 include signalling based on CR-LDP.

Motivations
• RSVP-TE Network Simulator will be useful to assess the feasibility
of innovative mechanisms in different network scenarios:
– MPLS networks (MPLS Working Group)
• Encoding of Attributes for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label
Switched Path (LSP) Establishment Using RSVP-TE
• Extensions to RSVP-TE for Point to Multipoint TE LSPs
– DiffServ-aware MPLS networks (MPLS Working Group)
• RFC 3568 defines the concept of Classtype but no RSVP-TE enhancements
have been standardized yet to support such an information
– GMPLS networks (CCAMP Working Group)
• RSVP-TE Extensions in support of End-to-End Generalized Multi-Protocol
Label Switching (GMPLS)-based Recovery

Requirements
• Overall design requirements
– Standard compliance: with respect to IETF Standardization
documents (e.g RSVP-TE RFC 3209)
– Extensibility: enhancements in the signalling protocol and in the
control plane mechanisms should be easily introduced in the
simulator
– Modularity: it should be possible to combine different modules
implementing distinct functionalities (e.g. use of different
scheduling algorithms)
– Open source code: Network Simulator version 2

Fabio Mustacchio - IPS-MOME 2005 – Warsaw, March 15th 2005
MPLS node implementation
• To develop a full comprehensive simulation environment for MPLS
networks the following functionalities are required:
– Data plane mechanisms (label swapping, traffic mapping, etc.)
– Control plane mechanisms (MPLS signalling protocol: RSVP-TE o CRLDP)

Label Switched Path (LSP) 1
Label Switched Path (LSP) 2

Simulator functions
• LSP establishment
– Commands:
<Ingress-LER> create-erlsp-rsvpte <Egress-LER> <sessionID>
<FlowID> <TunnelID> <er>
<Ingress-LER> create-erbwlsp-rsvpte <Egress-LER> <sessionID>
<FlowID> <TunnelID> <rate> <bucket> <ttl> <er>
– Action:
• a PATH message is sent by the Ingress Label Edge Router (LER)
towards the Egress LER
– An explicit route could be specified by means of the ERO Object
• After the Egress LER receives the PATH message, a RESV
message is sent upstream
• The RESV message is processed by each Label Switched Router
(LSR) along the path, which, in turn, performs label allocation and
optionally resource reservation

Simulator functions
• Mapping traffic flows to a LSP:
– Command:
<Ingress-LER> bind-flow-LSP <Dest Address> <FlowID> <TunnelID>
– Action:
• Traffic flow is mapped onto the LSP
• LSP release:
– Command:
<Ingress-LER> release-LSP <SessionID> <FlowID>
– Action:
• a PATH_ERR message is sent by the Ingress Label Edge Router
(LER) towards the Egress LER
• labels and resources are released along the PATH
14
Fabio Mustacchio - IPS-MOME 2005 – Warsaw, March 15th 2005
Simulator functions
• Failure handling
– Command:
<Upstream node> break-link <Downstream node>
– Action:
• a PATH_ERR message is sent by the LSR (Upstream node)
towards the Ingress LER for each LSP
• In turn, the Ingress LER sends a PATH_TEAR message to release
resources
• a RESV_ERR message is sent by the LSR (Upstream node)
towards the Egress LER for each LSP
• In turn, the Egress LER sends the corresponding RESV_TEAR
message to release resources

Functional validation test
• Objective
– to assess LSP establishment, flow mapping and failure
handling in the RSVP-TE Network Simulator

Conclusions
• A full comprehensive MPLS network simulation
environment based on the RSVP-TE signalling protocol
has been developed
• Thank to its modularity and extensibility this simulation
environment could be useful to speed-up the design,
development and deployment of enhanced (G)MPLS
networks
• The software is available on the TlcNetGroup software
repository at the site: wwwtlc.iet.unipi.it
