Abstract
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) with IPv6 has been defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as highly scalable and well suited for different types of traffic such as VoIP and Video. However, large IP headers create excessive header overhead in a MPLS network leading to traffic congestion degrading the backbone network performance. A new header suppression scheme, Multiprotocol Payload Header Suppression (MPHS) is proposed in this thesis to offer better bandwidth utilization for MPLS-LSP (Label Switched Path). The proposed scheme caters for high availability of the backbone network that requires much simpler compression schemes. It is carried across the entire backbone network, unlike the existing schemes namely, Payload Header Suppression (PHS) or Robust Header Compression (ROHC), that are mainly used at access network.
