Abstract

Traffic engineering can be viewed as the mechanisms that are used to reoptimise network performance on traffic variation time scales. The traffic engineering process involves measurements, detection of performance problems, and the adjustment of routes and various quality of service mechanisms in order to restore the desired performance. Traffic engineering models are essential in this feedback loop. In this paper we provide an overview of our recent contributions to analytical models for traffic engineering of elastic traffic in internets, and discuss the role that such models could play in automated or intelligent traffic engineering.
