Abstract
Methods for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) design for IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) include determining that a network is a hierarchical MPLS-enabled network including a single IMS Core site and multiple Session Border Controllers (SBCs). Responsive to determining that the network is a hierarchical MPLS-enabled network, the computer system configures a first set of TE Label Switching Paths (LSPs) between each SBC of the multiple SBCs and the single IMS Core site. The computer system configures a second set of TE LSPs between each SBC of the multiple SBCs and each other SBC of the multiple SBCs to form a full mesh. The network further includes multiple user endpoints (UEs). The computer system configures a third set of TE LSPs between each UE of the multiple UEs and an SBC of the multiple SBCs. The UE is configured to use the SBC.
