Maximum Throughput Routing of Traffic in the Hose Model
Murali S. Kodialam, T. V. Lakshman, Sudipta Sengupta · 2006
A computer-implemented method of computing throughput of a data-routing scheme for a network of nodes interconnected by links and having at least one ingress point and at least one egress point. The method includes: deriving a polynomial-size linear program from a combination of a first linear program and a second linear program and solving the polynomial-size linear program. The first linear program has infinite constraints and minimizes maximum-link utilization of a link in a path between the ingress point and the egress point. The second linear program determines whether any constraint of the first linear program is violated.
