Metro Ethernet is an Ethernet-based computer network that covers metropolitan area. Having a low cost implementation and capable in delivering broadband communication fairly, Metro Ethernet is seen as one possible solution to address public needs over data communication. Even so, a reliable communication must be supported by a good network planning. This is related to the evaluation of network performance, an optimal empowerment of resources, and application of <br /> <br /> <br /> technology to achieve operational objectives. Activities aimed at optimizing network performance that is referred to as traffic engineering. <br /> <br /> <br /> Toolbox for Traffic Engineering Methods or TOTEM is a software designed for traffic engineering purposes. Using TOTEM, traffic engineering processes can be made more flexible. That is because TOTEM is able to run simulations both as online and offline simulator. In addition, TOTEM also has a lot of traffic engineering methods that can be used, which one of them is Scalable Approach for MPLS Traffic Engineering (SAMTE). Basically, SAMTE is a traffic engineering method to simulate hybrid IGP/MPLS network. The main idea of the hybrid network is to combine both the <br /> <br /> <br /> simplicity and robustness of IGP routing with the flexibility of MPLS. This was achieved by implementing an explicit label-switched path (LSP) on the IGP-based network routing. By doing simulations SAMTE on a network, we can observe how the use of LSPs impact on network performance. <br /> <br /> <br /> Implementation of the LSPs in the IP network turned out to cause a better network performance. The utilization of the most loaded link decreases, while the mean utilization of the network increases. Therefore we can conclude that the use of hybrid IGP / MPLS provides a better results than the applications of standard IGP routing.
