A priority-based IP/MPLS management scheme Case-study: Smart Grids

To provide dependable services, IP/MPLS networks make use of a set of procedures (detection, notification and fault recovery) which is used to ensure appropriate protection for the traffic carried in the LSPs. One of the basic recoverymodels used to redirect traffic is the protection switching. In this paper we focus on the fault recovery issue in protection switching and use a priority-based scheme to overcome the link/node failures that may happen in an active LSP. By considering an IP/MPLS network as an infrastructure in a Smart Grid, and giving priority levels to all the incoming requests from the grid, we show that resources are used more efficiently and an adequate QoS can be achieved.
