Abstract
- Deterministic Networking (DetNet) is a rising technology that offers deterministic delay \& jitter and zero packet loss regardless of failures in large IP networks. In order to support DetNet, we must be able to find a set of low-cost routing paths for a given node pair subject to delay-range constraints. Unfortunately, the \textbf{Delay-Range} Constrained Routing (DRCR) problem is NP-Complete. Existing routing approaches either cannot support the delay-range constraints, or incur extremely high computational complexity. We propose Pulse$+$, a highly scalable and efficient DRCR problem solver. Pulse$+$ adopts a branch-and-bound methodology and optimizes its pruning strategies for higher efficiency. We also integrate Pulse$+$ with a divide-and-conquer approach and propose CoSE-Pulse$+$ to find a pair of active/backup paths that meet DetNet's delay-range and delay-diff constraints. Both Pulse$+$ and CoSE-Pulse$+$ offer optimality guarantee. Notably, although Pulse$+$ and CoSE-Pulse$+$ do not have a polynomial worst-case time complexity, their empirical performance is superior. We evaluate Pulse$+$ and CoSE-Pulse$+$ against the K-Shorst-Path and Lagrangian-dual based algorithms using synthetic test cases generated over networks with thousands of nodes and links. Both Pulse$+$ and CoSE-Pulse$+$ achieve significant speedup. To enable reproduction, we open source our code and test cases at [1].
