N2 - Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) plays a key role in IP networks by delivering quality of service (QoS) and traffic engineering features. The greatest strength of MPLS is its seamless coexistence with IP traffic and its reuse of proven IP routing protocols. In this paper we first discuss the basic features of MPLS and how it can provide QoS and traffic engineering capabilities in the Internet We use an MPLS simulator and carry out several simulations to show how network performance can be improved by setting up explicit routes for traffic with different QoS requirements. Specifically, we use the interaction between TCP and UDP traffic in the network and show how we can improve network's performance if we separate these traffics on separate paths using explicit routing of MPLS.
