Fuzzy logic routing within international academic networks

Abstract

This article brings new method how to evaluate and assess optical network links and finally, to find an optimal path. To test and prove introduced assumptions in the article, data transport theory is merged and implemented into a simulation models. Simulation models demonstrate a novel approach, optimizing existing optical links and computing optimal path to transfer data bulks. To process unambiguous input parameters relationships, fuzzy logic is employed to assess each link quality and utilization. To provide comprehensive evaluation, several parameters are taken into account.
