Overview and Principles of Internet Traffic Engineering
RFC 3272, “Overview and Principles of Internet Traffic Engineering”, is an Informational document published in May 2002 by D. Awduche, A. Chiu, A. Elwalid, I. Widjaja, X. Xiao. It has since been updated by RFC 5462. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9522 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo describes the principles of Traffic Engineering (TE) in the Internet. The document is intended to promote better understanding of the issues surrounding traffic engineering in IP networks, and to provide a common basis for the development of traffic engineering capabilities for the Internet. The principles, architectures, and methodologies for performance evaluation and performance optimization of operational IP networks are discussed throughout this document. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
