Semi-Oblivious Routing: Lower Bounds

Tags:
switching

Overview This paper initiates the study of semi-oblivious routing; a relaxation of oblivious routing which is first introduced by Racke and led to many subsequent improvements and applications. In semi-oblivious routing like oblivious routing, the algorithm should select only a polynomial number of paths between the source and the sink of each commodity, but unlike oblivious routing, the flow from each source to its sink is not just a scalar multiple of the single-commodity flow; any amount of flow can be sent along each selected path. Semi-oblivious routing has several applications in traffic engineering and VLSI routing.

'Selfish' routers slow the internet

That's the conclusion two Cornell University computer scientists came to after finding that computer networks tend to be "selfish" when each tries to route traffic by the fastest pathway, causing that path to become congested and slow.
