Networks of integral maintenance are intended for passing large volume of information. Development and creation such networks and choice method of routing in these networks requires improvement of existent methods of routing depending on the service quality in existing networks.

 

One of way to organize networks of integral maintenance is to use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology. This technology combines possibilities of traffic engineering, which are proper for data link layer, and scalability and flexibility of protocols, which are proper for a network layer. The main feature of MPLS technology is separation process of package commutation from the IP-address analysis in its header. This allows carrying out packages commutation considerably quicker. In accordance with MPLS technology routers and switches on every routing table access point appropriate special mark and transmit this mark the nearby devices.

 

The required service quality in integral networks obtains by routing with QoS (Quality of Service). This type of routing requires not only finding the shortest route from a source to the addressee but also guaranteeing, that this route will satisfy all quality conditions which are required by QoS.

 

Usually MPLS technology utilizes one of three routing protocols: link-state routing protocol OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), another link-state routing protocol IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System), BGP protocol (Border Gateway Protocol). OSPF and IS-IS protocols are oriented on finding the shortest route among all possible with a minimum links loading while providing QoS. Routing algorithms of these protocols are based on controlling links states. BGP protocol is known as a path vector protocol. The main principle of path vector protocol is that choice of route based on shortest distance between the systems, determined by the number of sending. Routing algorithm of path vector protocol usually take into account only the number of sending in a route.

 

On the basis of the conducted researches it is offered a method of routing based on the link-state routing algorithm which takes into account descriptions of communication links. This method provides needed parameters which heterogeneous traffic requires.
