Preemption is a traffic engineering technique in Multiprotocol Switching Networks that enables creation of high priority paths when there is not enough free bandwidth left on the route. Challenging part of any preemption method is to select the best set of paths for removal. Several heuristic methods are available but no wider comparison had been published before. In this paper, we discuss the dilemmas in implementing preemption methods and present the simulation study of well known existing algorithms. Based on the results, we provide recommendations for deployment of preemption for the two most common evaluation criteria: number of preemptions and preempted bandwidth.
