Method and system for enhancing routing in multiprotocol label switching (mpls)

Abstract

A method and a system for enhancing routing in MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) are provided. The method includes obtaining signaling protocol information from a plurality of routers and storing the signaling protocol information. Further, the method includes receiving a request from a router. The request includes a destination address, a signaling protocol and at least one other constraint. Further, the method also includes determining a Signaling Protocol specific Constrained based Explicit Route (SPCER) to the destination router from the signaling protocol information, and providing the SPCER to the router.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
