MPLS Traffic Engineering

In this post, we will discuss about MPLS Traffic Engineering. To understand where it can be used and what problems it can resolve, let's look at the below topology.

The CE1 and CE2 are customer edge devices with LAN subnet of 1.1.1.1/32 and 7.7.7.7/32 respectively. They are connected with corresponding PE1 and PE2. We are running OSPF and LDP in the service provider core. Both the PE devices exchange VPN labels via MP-BGP and transport label via LDP.
