A game-theory-based intelligent QoS static traffic grooming scheme

Abstract

Supporting QoS (Quality of Service) and improving bandwidth utilization are necessary in IP/DWDM optical Internet.In this paper, with the introduction of game theory and layered graph, a static traffic grooming scheme is proposed based on artificial immune algorithm to minimize network resource occupancy and maximize comprehensive QoS satisfaction degree, achieving Nash equilibrium between network provider utility and user utility. Simulation results have shown that the proposed scheme is both feasible and effective.

An Intelligent Traffic Grooming Scheme for IP over WDM Optical Internet

“…In Ref [3], a QoS dynamic traffic grooming scheme in optical Internet was proposed to minimize the network cost. In Ref [4], the idea of orthogonal design evolution was proposed to solve the static traffic grooming problem in WDM mesh networks. In Ref [5], in order to minimize the amount of OADMs, the integral linear programming was used to solve the traffic grooming problem.…”

An Intelligent Static Traffic Grooming Scheme in IP over DWDM Internet

“…In [7], integer linear programming formulations and heuristic algorithm are applied to solve the traffic grooming problem in WDM/SONET rings with multiple line speeds. In [8], a game theory based intelligent QoS static traffic grooming scheme is proposed. In general, delay and bandwidth constraints in the traffic requests was considered inadequately in most studies, especially in flexible delay constraint, and also did not consider network cost.…”

“…However, in [2][3][4], only ring topologies were considered. The research works on traffic grooming in [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] considered more general settings than ring networks. In [5], two objectives were showed in studied traffic grooming problems, and approximation algorithms were proposed for minimizing the total equipment cost and for minimizing the established lightpath number.…”

“…In [6], a QoS (Quality of Service) dynamic traffic grooming scheme in optical Internet was proposed to minimize the network cost. In [7], the idea of orthogonal design evolution was introduced to solve the static traffic grooming problem in IP over WDM mesh networks. In [8], a hierarchical approach for traffic grooming was devised, which divided the network into clusters to enable control and management of traffic and network resources efficiently.…”

“…In [17], the proposed methodology addressed the problems of traffic grooming in multi-domain optical networks. In general, studies in [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] were aimed at minimizing network cost.…”
