Optimizing Routing Decisions Under Inaccurate Network State Information.

Maintaining accurate network state information in the Traffic Engineering Databases of each node along a network is extremely difficult. The BYPASS Based Routing (BBR) mechanism has appeared to reduce the effects produced in the network performance when selecting paths under inaccurate network state information. The BBR mechanism is based on applying the dynamic bypass concept. In this paper the BBR mechanism is modified to extend its applicability, and therefore to increase the benefits of its implementation. Keywords.QoS routing, inaccurate routing decisions, routing scalability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
