Title
Combined access control and routing for connection oriented traffic in high-speed networks: A two-level approach.
Abstract
In the management of integrated networks that support connection oriented traffic classes with varying bandwidth requirements, an efficient integration of the access control and routing functions is of particular importance in realizing optimum network performance. A novel development of a hierarchical scheme for combined access control and routing is presented in this paper for realizing the above objective. The hierarchy comprises of two levels — at the upper level, a network supervisor implements an access control policy based on a mixed-integer programming approach, while at the lower level, each network node implements a distributed call routing strategy. The access control function executed at the supervisory level essentially partitions the network into several distinct subnets, one corresponding to each distinct bandwidth class. For routing the admitted calls within each subnet in an optimal fashion, a distributed minimum loss algorithm is developed for implementation at the network nodes. The decision-making at the supervisor level proceeds at a slower time-scale compared to the nodal updating of the routing parameters at the lower level. The analytical developments are supported by appropriate numerical examples which compare the proposed methodology to other available schemes.
