1 Abstract— This work presents a traffic engineering proposal based on planning and adaptative routing strategies for multimedia networks. The proposal uses a hybrid traffic model based on fBm (fractional Brownian motion) and Markovian processes, to characterize multimedia traffic and calculate QoS metrics for effective bandwidth calculus. The routing strategic was evaluated in a cenario with different aggregated traffic flows, Poisson and self-similar. The results show that the proposed method achieves the established QoS requirements and promotes a better network load balancing.
