Inter-area and Inter-AS MPLS Traffic Engineering

This session will first provide a description of requirements and set of mechanisms related to inter-area and inter-AS MPLS Traffic Engineering.

MPLS Traffic Engineering is a widely deployed technology than can be used for bandwidth optimization, fast recovery (MPLS TE Fast Reroute) and strict QOS guarantees. This presentation will cover MPLS Traffic Engineering in the context multi-area routing domains and multiple Autonomous Systems.

This presentation will reflect the work of three IETF drafts:

"Multi-area MPLS Traffic Engineering", draft-kompella-mpls-multiarea-te-03.txt
"MPLS Inter-AS Traffic Engineering requirements", draft-tewg-interas-te-req-01.txt
"Inter-AS MPLS Traffic Engineering": draft-vasseur-inter-AS-TE-00.txt

Biography

Jean-Philippe is a technical lead engineer at Cisco Systems, Inc. He worked for several Service Providers in large multi-protocol environments prior to joining Cisco. After two years within the EMEA Technical consulting group, focusing on IP/MPLS routing, VPN, Traffic Engineering designs for the Service Providers, he joined the Cisco Engineering team working on IP/MPLS architecture specifications. The author is also participating in several IETF drafts related to IP and MPLS. Jean-Philippe has a French engineering degree and a Master of Science from the SIT (New Jersey, USA). He regularly participates in several technical conference programs (MPLS International Conference 2002, MPLS Congress 2003, ?) and is part of scientific committees (DCRN 2003, ?).
