The goal of QoS routing is to find a loopless path through a network that can satisfy a given set of constraints on parameters such as bandwidth, delay and cost. QoS routing algorithms can be classified into three categories. They are Source routing, Distributed routing and Hierarchical routing. In this paper we propose a distributed QoS routing algorithm that gives high call admission rates in...

In a networking environment, Quality-of-Service (QoS) routing plays an important role in the provision of real-time services with guaranteed throughput and bounded end-to-end delay. Its task is to nd a routing path which has su cient resources to support the requirements imposed by the applications. We propose several distributed algorithms for bandwidth-constrained routing and delay-constraine...

Distributed routing algorithms presented in the literature have tended to be specific to a particular network topology. In order to test the applicability of various routing strategies to arbitrary topologies, this paper presents a classification framework for distributed routing algorithms. Using this framework, ideas previously presented in a topologyspecific context may be applied to new net...

Deterministic and adaptive distributed routing algorithms have been advocated in all the current NoC architectural proposals. In this paper we make a case for the use of source routing for NoCs, especially for regular topologies like mesh. The advantages of source routing include in-order packet delivery; faster and simpler router design; and possibility of mixing non-minimal paths in a mainly ...

One of the goals of a routing protocol is how to satisfy the Quality-of-Service requirements for every admitted connection and how to achieve the global efficiency in resource utilization. On the other hands, the main goal of QoS routing; is to find a network path with sufficient resources to satisfy certain constraints on metrics such as delay and bandwidth. Many unicast / multicast QoS routin...

The location-routing problem is the most significant and yet new research field in location problems that considers simultaneously vehicle routing problem features with original one for achieving high-quality integrated distribution systems in beside of the global optimum. Simultaneous pickup and delivery based on time windows are the two main characteristics of logistic management that have be...
