Multiple-path source routing protocols allow a data source node to distribute the total traffic among avail- able paths. The problem of jamming-aware source routing in which the source node performs traffic alloca- tion based on empirical jamming statistics at individual network nodes. The traffic allocation as a lossy network flow optimization problem using portfolio selection theory from financial statistics. In multi source networks, this centralized optimization problem can be solved using a distributed algorithm based on decomposition in network utility maximization (NUM). The network's ability to estimate the impact of jamming and incorporate these estimates into the traffic allocation problem. The achievable throughput using our proposed traffic allocation method in several scenarios.
