A GA Based Real-Time Resource Scheduling Algorithm

This paper presents a new dynamic virtual private network (VPN) architecture based on a new coordinating component called the dynamic VPN manager (DVM). The DVM manages available network resources and allocates these resources to the users' applications. To achieve this a resource scheduling algorithm is designed to assign the network resources in the dynamic environments. Simulations are carried to study the proposed algorithm's performance. The results show that the scheme is feasible and performs well in dynamic network scenarios, where no knowledge of future events exist, compared with static algorithms which are given complete knowledge of all job arrivals.
