Efficient path selection for QoS routing in load balancing
Man-Ching Yuen, Chi-Chung Cheung · 2004
In this paper, we propose a new efficient QoS path searching algorithm called the largest widest shortest path with limited choices (LWSP-LC) for load balancing in the Internet. This algorithm is modified from the widest shortest path (WSP) with two important modifications: our algorithm considers an addition parameter in the path selection criteria and searches the optimal path from very limited choices. By comparing with the WSP, our simulation results show that the LWSP-LC has a lower computational complexity, which is up to 100 times less than the WSP, without any performance degradation.
