DCN@MPLS: A Network Architectural Model for Dynamic Circuit Networking at Multiple Protocol Label Switching

In this paper, we present DCN@MPLS as a architectural extension to multi-protocol label switching MPLS technology that can dynamically assign time activated future routes to an MPLS-enabled routing infrastructure. Moreover, we assume that efficient route schedules have been computed by a separate optimization algorithm module linked to the DCN@MPLS route server.
