Bandwidth Constrained IP Multicast Traffic Engineering Without MPLS Overlay
White Papers Existing multicast Traffic Engineering (TE) solutions tend to use explicit routing through MPLS tunnels. This paper shifts away from this overlay approach and address the bandwidth constrained IP multicast TE directly based on link state IGP...
