Active routing service for the next-generation network/ISDN3

Abstract

Abslrocf-In recent years, a new routing method, known PS active routing, has been emerging. This involves using active packets to configure customized network paths. Based on a Markov decision model, this paper presents an active routing service for active networks in general and the next generation network, enlied ISDN3, in particular. Our aim is l o determine the active routing policy so as to minimize the network cost. Theoretical analysis is presented to show the advantages of our proposal as compared with three other approaches.
