Abstract - This paper proposes an approach to Traffic Engineering
that uses Differentiated Services (diffserv) and Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(MPLS) to provide quantitative QoS guarantees over an IP network. An algorithm
that determines QoS-constrained routes is proposed and a framework that
uses such an algorithm is outlined. This framework removes the responsibility
of QoS guarantees from the core nodes, thereby reducing their complexity.
