Providing guaranteed Quality of Service in the current internet has become extremely essential to fulfill the requirements of current internet services. With increase in the number of users and demand for real time applications like video streaming, VoIP, audio video conferencing there is high demand for larger bandwidth for these applications. Many schemes have already been put forth and implemented for such real time applications but with some disadvantages. The project proposes integrating of the IP multicast over MPLS with different Quality of Service QoS techniques to guarantee essential QoS parameters like the bandwidth, delay, and through put. The project implements a non-traffic engineered approach using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) instead of Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) as RSVP has scalability issues when it comes to real time video conferencing application. The network so designed has been simulated using the simulation tool OPNET modeler. The results obtained from the simulation clearly show that use of IP multicast over MPLS while using different QoS techniques has better performance in terms of bandwidth, throughput and delay when compared with convention IP data transfer approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
