Abstract: The problem with the optimisation of multi protocol label switching (MPLS) network is discussed in terms of finding such label switching paths (LSP) for all flows in the network, which would provide minimal load on the links in it, as collaboration of the protocol of the third layer (IS-IS or OSPF) and MPLS is reported. The proposed analytical model is reduced to optimisation problem which is solved using linear optimisation. Researches have been made for this algorithm and the results are presented.

Keywords: multi protocol label switching; MPLS networks; linear optimisation; load minimisation; link load; label switching paths; network flows; analytical modelling; links.
