Minimum interference routing of bandwidth guaranteed tunnels with MPLS traffic engineering applications (2000, background): “These LSPs can be thought of as virtual traffic trunks that carry flow aggregates generated by classifying the packets arriving at the edge or ingress r outers of an MPLS network into “forwarding equivalence classes” (FECs) [ 13 ], [4].”
