Load Balancing Routing With Bandwidth-Delay Guarantees

Overview Current generation of network carriers compete intensely to satisfy the diverse wide-area connectivity requirements of customers. At the same time, the carriers inherently wish to maximize the usage efficiency of their network infrastructure. Much of the research in network resource management has been devoted to providing bandwidth guarantees and preventing network congestion. However, the rapid growth in number and diversity of real-time network applications has made it imperative to consider the impact of end-to-end delay requirements of traffic on network resource provisioning. This paper presents an efficient network resource provisioning algorithm, called Link Criticality Based Routing (LCBR), which relies on the guiding theme that load balancing leads to higher resource utilization efficiency.
