AFEC: A method of aggregating forwarding equivalence classes based on overlapped paths

Baobao Zhang, Jun Bi, Jianping Wu

Abstract

The traditional IP routing protocols transfer traffic only according to destination, which is not fine-grained enough to satisfy the significant demands of quality-of-service (QoS) and traffic engineering, so fine-grained flow control techniques, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) [1], emerge. MPLS is the most widely used technique to do fine-grained flow control.
