Abstract

The quest for reliable data transmission in today’s computer networks and internetworks forms the basis for which routing schemes need be improved upon. The persistent increase in the size of internetwork leads to a dwindling performance of the present routing algorithms which are meant to provide optimal path for forwarding packets from one network to the other. A mathematical and analytical routing model framework is proposed to address the routing needs to a substantial extent. The model provides schemes typical of packet sources, queuing system within a buffer, links and bandwidth allocation and time-based bandwidth generator in routing chunks of packets to their destinations. Principal to the choice of link are such design considerations as least-congested link in a set of links, normalized throughput, mean delay and mean waiting time and the priority of packets in a set of prioritized packets. These performance metrics were targeted and the resultant outcome is a fair, load-balanced network.
