Abstract
The work analyzes solutions for ensuring the Quality of Service (QoS) in communication networks through traffic management. It has been established that routing protocols, which implement load balancing based on Traffic Engineering technology, effectively ensure QoS based on network performance indicators (bandwidth, delay, jitter, packet loss). However, well-known theoretical and protocol routing solutions in this direction, such as DiffServ-Aware Traffic Engineering (DS-TE), provide traffic differentiation only with link bandwidth distribution and reservation, significantly complicating the router’s algorithmic software. Therefore, the work proposes a QoS-Aware Adaptation Traffic Engineering solution for multipath routing in communication networks. Within the framework of the proposed solution, the mathematical model of Traffic Engineering multipath routing is modified. Here the load balancing in the network is optimized in such a way that more priority flows are routed through links that are less loaded concerning those links through which packets of lower priority flows are transmitted. First, this was achieved using the linear optimality criterion applied to minimize each link utilization separately and the upper bound of the network link utilization in general during routing. Secondly, the conditions for balanced loading of network links were modified, which considered the priorities of the packet flows transmitted by them. The adequacy and workability of the proposed solution have been demonstrated on numerous calculated examples, and its properties have been confirmed in terms of providing differentiated Quality of Service only through routing and load balancing by disjoint paths.
