Currently a common approach to IP network traffic engineering is
the overlay approach where explicit end to end MPLS LSPs between all
possible edge nodes are established to form a full mesh virtual network
on top of the physical topology. By carefully choosing the routes for
these LSPs, one can completely control how traffic flows across the
network and therefore achieve any given traffic engineering objective.
However scalability is a serious concern with this approach because it
requires N square number of LSPs where N is the number of nodes.

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.
