[e2e] Re: Traffic Management in real networks

[Marcel Waldvogel]

By leaving the limiting realms of traffic engineering by tuning OSPF 
weights, the gain in flexibility and thus utilization can be 
significant. Two examples include:

Load-Sensitive Routing of Long-Lived IP Flows (Shaikh, Rexford, Shin, 
SIGCOMM '99, http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm99/papers/session6-2.html)

Profile-Based Routing and Traffic Engineering (Suri, Waldvogel, Bauer, 
Warkhede, Computer Communications 24(4), 
http://marcel.wanda.ch/Publications/suri03profilebased)
