There is a paper from INFOCOM or SIGCOMM (I am not sure) on the modification of OSPF metrics for TE which formalizes what some ISPs have been doing for a while. This paper is somewhat interesting in the fact, it also is a human intervention method but does not involve MPLS at all. The paper's title is "Internet Traffic Engineering by optimizing OSPF Weights" by Fortz and Thorup.
I found the article by just searching for the title on http://www.google.com. The URL I found, http://smg.ulb.ac.be/Preprints/Fortz99_29.html mentions it was in Infocon 2000... And oh, yes, most definitely worth the read. Has anyone started to apply these techiques to networks other than AT&Ts? If so, results? thanks, fletcher
