Traffic Engineering

Traffic engineering enables more effective use of network resources by providing for the setup of explicitly routed Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label-switched paths (LSPs) that satisfy resource and administrative constraints. You can use OSPF to exchange link resource and traffic-engineering administrative information between routers. OSPF uses this information to calculate paths in the network that satisfy the administrative constraints. MPLS can then set up LSPs along these paths. See JUNOSe BGP and MPLS Configuration Guide for a detailed discussion of MPLS.
