Abstract

Quality of Service (QoS) is more and more becoming a necessity for emerging applications carried by IP networks. Thus, dynamic admission control is a very important mechanism that aims, not onlyto ensure resources availability, but also to verify QoS constraints satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a novel admission control mechanism in MPLS-based packet-switched networks satisfying delay constraints for all the network connections. The admission control mechanism is based on solving an Integer Linear Programming model. Numerical results show that the proposed model can be solved to optimality in reasonable computation times while obtaining low blocking rates and interesting link's usage distributions.
