AI-Enhanced QoS Routing in Software Defined Networks for Smart IoT Applications
Mr. R. Suresh, P. Nirmaladevi · International Journal of Advanced Networking and Applications · 2025
A QoS-based routing algorithm provides routing solutions that ensure quality requirements by leveraging knowledge of network resource availability to establish optimal paths based on multiple metrics, thereby delivering adequate quality of service (QoS) for significant application flows. Additionally, it continuously monitors and adapts to fluctuations in QoS parameters across network links. One of the most effective approaches for managing largescale and complex networks is Software Defined Networking (SDN), which simplifies network policy implementation by centralizing control at the network's top level rather than embedding policies in individual network devices. The SDN architecture consists of two vertically connected segments: the data and control planes in the position of providing data, which manages policies and control mechanisms. In scalable and dynamic network contexts, SDN-based QoS routing significantly improves upon traditional standards in terms of energy usage, sender waiting times, network lifetime, routing effectiveness, and duplicate packet handling.
