Simulation of an MPLS Network Using VHDL [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents a simulation of an MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network using VHDL (Very high speed integrated circuits Hardware Description Language). Three MPLS switches are modelled and simulated as follows. The first switch assigns a label to the IP packet header, which will be used by the MPLS switches for its management inside the network. The middle switch changes the label depending on the destination of the packet. The final switch removes the label to the IP packet header and continues its path outside the MPLS network. The MPLS network is simulated using VHDL because of the simplicity and universality of its code. Simulation results show that network switching in MPLS networks may reduce congestion problems in IP networks.
