Q2. How is the route advertisement made less attractive to upstream domains?
A route advertisement is made less attractive to upstream domains by adding several instances of AS-number to the AS-path attribute so as to inflate the AS-path length of that route.
Q3. What is the key objective of the hybrid TE approach?
In the offline scenario, how to set up LSPs and configure IGP link weights so as to achieve overall network optimality is the key objective of the hybrid TE approach.
Q4. What is the basic idea of online MPLS oriented traffic engineering?
Online MPLS oriented traffic engineering can be classified into two categories: (1) dynamically adjusting the traffic splitting ratio among pre-constructed static LSPs [38][39]; and (2) computing dynamic LSPs on the fly for each new traffic trunk demand.
Q5. What other routing schemes have been proposed to extend SPR?
Other routing schemes have also been proposed to extend SPR, such as Widest Shortest Path (WSP) and Shortest Widest Path (SWP) [23][24], both of which try to increase the available bandwidth at bottlenecks along the path.
Q6. How can an INP perform offline traffic engineering?
Having obtained the traffic matrix for the specific network topology, an INP can perform offline traffic engineering, i.e. map optimally the whole traffic matrix onto the physical network.
Q7. What is the first piece of work dealing specifically with outbound inter-domain TE for transit?
The BGP traffic engineering approach proposed by Bressoud et al. [71] was the first piece of work dealing specifically with outbound inter-domain TE for transit domains.
Q8. What are the main issues that need to be considered in routing optimization for advanced traffic engineering?
In this section, the authors discuss some important issues that need to be considered in routing optimization for advanced traffic engineering, specifically: TE robustness, TE interactions and interoperability between TE and overlay selfish routing.
Q9. How many overlays can achieve near-optimal traffic engineering performance?
Through simulations, the authors prove that a fairly small number of overlays (k equal to 2 or 4) can achieve near-optimal traffic engineering performance.
Q10. How can an INP estimate the traffic matrix?
By aggregating the traffic predicted in the SLSs with individual customers, the INP can estimate the overall bandwidth demand between each pair of ASBRs.
