Title : Orchestrally conducted Traffic ( OCT )
Author(s) : H. Hummel
Filename : draft-hummel-te-oct-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 18-Oct-99
This draft proposes to engineer traffic such that we can speak of an
Orchestrally Conducted Traffic (OCT). Any traffic stream (given by
its source and destination nodes and by a priority class), shall be
served as best as possible (i.e. by using best-routed LSPs as often
as possible) - which means eventually less optimally routed LSPs or
even not at all, according to the current traffic load and the
currently expected increase/decrease of the entire traffic.
Fairness and appropriate/deliberate discrimination as well as
optimal thruput will be achieved. The OCT concept assumes an
information exchange between the source nodes of all traffic streams
and a common TE conductor (TEC). This OCT concept is alternative to
concepts where each traffic stream is its own conductor, i.e. decides
all by itself without mutual synchronization which routes/LSPs to
take.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
