Study of medical image traffic using MPLS technology

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)combines multiple advanced systems for embedding techniques like ATM and IP with Quality of Service (QoS). This paper investigates the implementation of a local recovery mechanism using Label Switched Path (LSP). This mechanism allows for an alternative path to be set up when an accidental drop in the topology affects an LSP that carries a privileged data flow. The new path has equivalent properties to its predecessor, thus privileged traffic can be redirected. The analysis was performed on the traffic of medical image data.
