Abstract

Due to insufficient network bandwidth on the Internet, multimedia-oriented applications are still not popular. The traffic on the Internet often causes congestion in routers. Therefore, the Internet must overcome these challenges and bottlenecks to provide more multimedia-oriented applications. We study the transmission of MPEG-4-based video traffic in multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks. We propose a better architecture, coined actively reserved bandwidth architecture, for improving the constraint-based routing label distribution protocol (CR-LDP) in MPLS networks. The architecture is designed to overcome the router bottlenecks of MPLS networks. This approach is beneficial to the transmission of MPEG-4-based video traffic
