Abstract

This document describes an MPLS Adaptive Traffic Engineering scheme, called MATE. The main goal of MATE is to avoid network congestion by balancing the loads among the LSPs. MATE makes minimal assumptions in that the intermediate LSRs are not required to perform traffic engineering activities or measurements beside forwarding packets. Moreover, MATE does not impose any particular scheduling, buffer management, architecture, or a priori traffic characterization, on the LSRs.
