This research paper describes the issues of bandwidth allocation, optimum capacity allocation, network operational cost reduction, and improve Internet user experience. Traffic engineering (TE) is used to manipulate network traffic to achieve certain requirements and meets certain needs. TE becomes one of the most important building blocks in the design of the Internet backbone infrastructure. Research objective: efficient allocation of bandwidth across multiple paths. Optimum path selection. Minimize network traffic delays and maximize bandwidth utilization over multiple network paths. The bandwidth allocation is performed proportionally over multiple paths based on the path capacity.
