On current network actuality and development trend, it is necessary to put traffic engineering in practice in IP backbone network on IP/MPLS. The essential demand in actualizing traffic engineering is traffic matrix measurement. After analyzing the defect of current measurement method, traffic engineering model and traffic matrix on LSP in IP backbone network based on MPLS, or relevant routing algorithm are researched. The merit of the traffic matrix's measurement method is that implement of measurement is only located in the edge node; therefore, network resource's cost is lower and it offers a new train of thoughts for resolving the flaw of current main measurement methods, moreover, and condition for actualizing traffic engineering.
