Network Coding-Based Protection Strategy with Data Traffic Prediction
Feibi Lv, Guochu Shou, Yihong Hu, Zhigang Guo · 2011
In this paper we introduce a new network coding-based network protection strategies against link failure, which is based on prediction of data traffic. In the situation that extra backup links are not applicable, we assign protection packets to the path which would have a low traffic by the prediction. The simulation result shows that using the new strategy, the average queuing delay of packets can be reduced by more than 50% and the traffic load of links can also get balance.
