Abstract :
As the network traffic increases, dialogue transmission delay becomes more and more significant. To optimize current MPLS networks and enhance their capability, a new analytical method based on trees is proposed. From this view, network details are better traced in a discrete mathematics context. On identifying a network as a directed graph and dividing it into multiple trees, emphasis is placed on those component trees instead of the original graph to obtain a more trenchant understanding of it. Various types of those trees are defined, analyzed on their performance, and converted to and fro. The conversion between each other is bestowed a high practical value, since the entire network can be optimized in such an easier divide-and-conquer way. The viability of combining individual converted component trees to attain a whole converted network is proved at the end of this article.
