Abstract:
A multiobjective routing model for Multiprotocol Label Switching networks with multiple service classes and considering traffic splitting is presented. The routing problem is formulated as a multiobjective mixed-integer program, and an exact resolution method based on the classical constraint method is outlined. Some experimental results on network performance measures, resulting from the application of the routing method in a reference test network, are presented. These results confirm the potential advantages of using a multiobjective optimization model in this routing problem, as we get a compromise solution that tries to balance the two considered objectives.
