Abstract

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) netwoks transfers the data whith the help of labels. MPLS creates "virtual links" between distant nodes. MPLS can encapsulate packets of various network protocols. In MPLS packet-forwarding decisions are made solely on the contents of this label, without the need to examine the packet itself. This allows to create end-to-end circuits using any protocol. Congestion Control and Congestion avoidence is the main task in Traffic Engineering. Slow Start, ECN, RED, AIMD are some of the techniques available for congestion management. This paper compares the response time in MPLS network using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique to avoid congestion and gives good results in terms of response time.
