Optimal Routing With Multiple Traffic Matrices Tradeoff Between Average Case and Worst Case Performance

Tags:
switching

Overview This paper considers the problem of finding an "Efficient" and "Robust" set of routes in the face of changing/uncertain traffic. The changes/uncertainty in exogenous traffic is characterized by multiple traffic matrices. Goal of this paper is to find a set of routes that result in good average case performance over the set of traffic matrices, while avoiding bad worst case performance for any single traffic matrix. With multiple traffic matrices, previous work aims solely to optimize the average case performance, or the worst case performance. For a given set of traffic matrices, different sets of routes offer a different tradeoff between the average case and the worst case performance. This paper quantifies the performance of a routing configuration at both network level and link level.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

Anthony Plewes considers how it might affect who you end up paying for services. Much of the complexity stems from MPLS routing, and customers would need to learn new routing procedures, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Newly created Trojans are finding their way onto users' machines and once there are creating more sophisticated ways of routing spam traffic. But any celebration is misguided and more than a little premature according to those working at the coal...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.

Green sat-nav - how it works

Yesterday silicon.com reported on developments by Swedish academics to build a greener sat-nav system that works out the most fuel-efficient routes. The sat-nav works from a collection of special routes it has stored.

Sat-nav tackles congested HGV 'rat runs'

According to Tele Atlas, the increasing amount of traffic on the roads is making HGV drivers seek routes through areas where there is likely to be less congestion. The data will be used in Tele Atlas' logistics system, which highlights the most...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
