End-to-End QoS Improvement using IPv6 Header Reduction over MPLS
Imad J. Mohammed · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2013
In 802.16 standards, PHS suppresses redundant parts of payload header in MAC service data unit.This paper proposes Label Switched Path-Payload Header Suppression (LSP-PHS), in which an MPLS-enabled backbone route compresses packets over an MPLS LSP without compression or decompression cycles at each router.It has two main contributions for MPLS-IPv6 header compression.First, LSP-PHS adds a new facility (MPLS/PHS) to the existing MPLS facilities.Second, it provides an analysis of the effect of implementing LSP-PHS on real-time and non-real-time IPv6 traffic in terms of QoS metrics.The implementation results using NS 2.34 show QoS improvement for real-time and nonreal-time traffic.
