Abstract
The capability of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) of explicit routing as well as of transferring the traffic flows on several, possible equal cost, paths allows load balancing scheme. Exploiting this capability of MPLS, a revenue aware load balancing mechanism is proposed in this paper. The main goal of this proposal is to maximize total network revenue so that quality of service (QoS) requirements of different service classes are fulfilled. The performance of the load balancing algorithm is evaluated by using NS-2 simulator. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the operation of the load balancing algorithm. In addition, the performance of proposed algorithm is compared with the performance of representative dynamic load distribution approaches
