Abstract:
Deployment and usage of cloud based applications and services that use
an underlying MPLS network are expanding and an increasing number of
applications are extremely sensitive to delay and packet loss.
Furthermore, in cloud computing an additional decision problem arises of
simultaneously choosing the data center to host applications along with
MPLS network connectivity such that the overall performance of the
application is met. Existing mechanisms exist to measure and monitor
MPLS path performance parameters for packet loss and delay, but only
after the path has been setup. These cloud-based and performance
sensitive applications would benefit from measurement of MPLS network
and potential path information that would be provided for use in the
computation and selection of LSPs.
This document provides a statement of problems faced by these cloud
based and performance sensitive applications and describes requirements
to enable the efficient and accurate measurement of the MPLS network and
allow new performance parameters to be reported and used in the
computation of MPLS services in support of these cloud based and
performance sensitive applications.
