Feasibility issues in shortest-path routing with traffic flow split

Pioro, Michal LU and Tomaszewski, Artur (2007) International Network Optimization Conference INOC 2007
Abstract
In the Internet’s autonomous systems packets are routed on shortest paths to their destinations. A related problem is how to find an admissible traffic routing configuration using paths that can be generated by a system of weights assigned to IP links. This problem is NP-hard. It can be formulated as a mixed-integer program and attempted with a branch-and-cut algorithm if effective cuts (valid inequalities) can be derived. In this paper we discuss admissibility of shortest-path routing configurations represented by binary variables specifying whether or not a particular link is on a shortest path to a particular destination. We present a linear programming problem for testing routing admissibility and derive solutions of this problem which... (More)

In this paper we discuss admissibility of shortest-path routing configurations represented by binary variables specifying whether or not a particular link is on a shortest path to a particular destination. We present a linear programming problem for testing routing admissibility and derive solutions of this problem which characterize non-admissible routing configurations. (Less)
