Intra-Domain Traffic Engineering With Shortest Path Routing Protocols

Abstract

Throughout the last decade, extensive deployment of popular intra-domain routing protocols such as open shortest path first and intermediate system-intermediate system, has drawn an ever increasing attention to Internet traffic engineering. This paper reviews optimization techniques that have been deployed for managing intra-domain routing in networks operated with shortest path routing protocols, and the state-of-the-art research that has been carried out in this direction.
