A cross-layer concurrent multi-path forward algorithm
Laiquan Han, Jinkuan Wang, Cuirong Wang · 2008
The rapid development of communication technology, virtualization and programming router in the last few years have given rise to a strong research interest in Concurrent Multi-Path (CMP) technology. Based on the analysis of flow relation and forward granularity, a Cross-layer CMP Forward (CCF) algorithm is proposed. Compared with conventional single path forward and random CMP forward, NS2 simulations prove that CCF algorithm addresses the disorder problem and achieves a better throughput performance with a little process overhead, and the algorithm is easily deployed into the software of the router.
