Maximum Delay Minimization in Multipath Routing

Abstract

A key component of an efficient multipath routing is theoptimal resource allocation strategy that deals with how thetraffic should be distributed amongst the multiple paths. Inthis paper, an intelligent traffic distribution policy thatminimise the maximum delay in a multipath routing scenariois proposed. It would be proved that such delay minimisationcan be achieved through delay synchronization. Based on thisfact, an intelligent algorithm which can minimise thebottleneck path delay by using adaptive traffic sharing isproposed and validated.
