A Comparative Study on Multicast Routing Using Dijkstra’s, Prims and Ant Colony Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Dijkstra’s and Prim’s algorithms are well established methods for implementing multicast routing. We have emphasized a different approach ’Ant Colony System (ACS)’ for multicast routing. This paper introduces a comparative study of implementing simple Ant Colony System, Dijkstra’s Algorithm and Prim’s Algorithm in a multicast routing communication scenario. For the sake of simplicity we have only considered the distance as the key parameter to choose the best path. We have analyzed directed as well as undirected graphs. ACS, an optimization approach is considered here as undirected system for generalization. The complexity study shows that ACS has faster convergence to reach the optimal solution.

Multicast computer network routing using genetic algorithm and ant colony
Due to the growth and development of computer networks, the importance of the routing topic has been increased. The importance of the use of multicast networks is not negligible nowadays. Many of multimedia programs need to use a communication link to send a packet from a sender to several receivers. To support such programs, there is a need to make an optimal multicast tree to indicate the opt...

متن کاملMulti-Objective Multicast Routing based on Ant Colony Optimization
This work presents a new multiobjective algorithm based on ant colonies, which is used in the construction of the multicast tree for data transmission in a computer network. The proposed algorithm simultaneously optimizes cost of the multicast tree, average delay and maximum end-to-end delay. In this way, a set of optimal solutions, know as Pareto set, is calculated in only one run of the algor...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of the AntNet algorithm
A number of routing algorithms based on the ant-colony metaphor have been proposed for communication networks. However, there has been little work on the performance analysis of ant-routing algorithms. In this paper, we compare the performance of AntNet, an ant-routing algorithm, with Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm. Our simulations show that the performance of AntNet is comparable to Dijkst...
