New preemption policies for DiffServ-aware traffic engineering to minimize rerouting in MPLS networks

TL;DR: A new preemption policy is proposed and complemented with an adaptive scheme that aims to minimize rerouting and combines the three main preemption optimization criteria: number of LSPs to be preempted, priority of the L SPs, and preempted bandwidth.
