Abstract
The service needs of the present and future Internet requires Quality of Service (QoS) provisions and Traffic Engineering (TE) with minimal congestion capabilities. Congestion is a common feature of networks caused by low bandwidth, buffer overflow etc. Internetworks have grown colossally from delivering best effort QoS services to support new traffic classes which require minimal delay and high throughput with more variations in load. This created the need for effective traffic management with the required QoS. MPLS, a label swapping and connection-oriented switching mechanism with high-performance offers new possibilities with its cutting-edge traffic control mechanisms but not without the need to manage congestion. This proposal presents a fluid credit congestion control scheme which manages traffic in MPLS internetwork and predicts congestion.
