Abstract

MPLS technology enables IP networks to accept the challenge raised by emerging communication paradigms. This paper describes a nonlinear model with path capacity as design variables and space priority as constraints. The analysis shows that the close-form solution exists if traffic flows are allocated by an independent protocol.
