SDN traffic engineering is used to assign bandwidth to flows. Classic traffic engineering algorithms are well understood however implementations of these algorithms typically take seconds or even minutes to execute. These long execution times force traffic engineering to be used as an off-line tool. We demonstrate a traffic engineering algorithm equivalent to these classic algorithms that executes in millisecond times, allowing traffic engineering to be used as an on-line tool -much as shortest path computations are used in today's routers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
