Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to measure the performance effects in aDifferentiated Service aware MPLS network. This thesis is split into fourchapters. The first chapter goes into detail on the scope of the thesis, thequestions asked, the significance, and the constraints of the experiment. Thesecond chapter is a literature review of the technologies used, how they functionseparately and then research into how they have functioned together in otherstudies and experiments. The third chapter describes the process of theexperiment and the steps to finding and answering the question asked in the firstchapter. Finally, the last chapter contains a conclusion of the findings and myinterpretations. The different networks of MPLS, MPLS TE, and DS-TE all havetheir uses depending on the situation and are not necessarily directimprovements/upgrades from the previous technology.
