Results (ARS)
•Without TPS or ARS, the delay of two voice calls from the NOC were both 1.4 +/- 0.3 seconds at high load, far less than an generally accepted maximum of 500 ms.
•In order to improve utilization of the network, an MPLS overlay was introduced to allow traffic travelling to Ship 4 to take different routes depending on the application type and priority.
•In this case high priority voice traffic was to travel via Ship 3 while all other traffic will travel over the default route via Ship 1.
•With the combination of TPS and ARS, the impact on the delay of voice packets is significant.
•The high-priority voice call which is taking the alternate lightly loaded route via Ship 3 has a delay of 0.19 +/- 0.03 seconds while the lower priority voice call which uses the default route has a delay of 0.43 +/- 0.10 seconds.
