Implementation of Traffic Engineering strategies in countries with poor interdomain connectivity based on the PCE (TELA)

Inter-university cooperation and scientific research program PCI-AECI, “Implementation of Traffic Engineering strategies in countries with poor interdomain connectivity based on the PCE.” (A/019977/08)

Researchers: Xavi Masip, Marcelo Yannuzzi

Duration of the Project: from January 2009 to December 2009

This project aims to develop solutions based on the convergence of the PCE and LISP architectures. This line of research is supported by the work done in the first year of cooperation, where the benefits of such convergence were identified. The project has two main objectives: i) the design of a convergent architecture with the LISP data plane completely decoupled from the LISP/PCE control plane; and ii) the design of the intelligent route control algorithms required to dynamically optimize the distribution of traffic for domains with poor inter-domain connectivity, which is the typical situation of many domains in Latin America.
