Traffic engineering is an important mechanism for Internet network providers seeking to
optimize network performance and traffic delivery. Routing optimization plays a key role in …

Traffic engineering plays a critical role in determining the performance and reliability of a
network. A major challenge in traffic engineering is how to cope with dynamic and …

Given n items and m knapsacks, the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP) is to find the
optimum assignment of each item to exactly one knapsack, without exceeding the capacity …

A flexible mechanism and method for routers to select the egress point for each destination
comprises identifying a plurality of points of egress from an autonomous system, ranking the …

This article presents an architecture for supporting interdomain QoS across the multi-
provider global Internet. While most research to date has focused on supporting QoS within …

The separation of intra domain and inter domain routing has been a key feature of the
Internet's routing architecture from the early days of the ARPAnet. However, the appropriate" …

Today's Internet users and applications are placing increased demands on Internet service
providers (ISPs) to deliver fine-grained, flexible route control. To assist network operators in …

This paper addresses the issue of delivering solutions that will enable the incremental
implementation of inter-domain quality of service (QoS) in the multi-provider commercial …

Abstract In INterdomain Ingress Traffic Engineering (INITE), a “target” Autonomous System
(AS) aims to control the ingress link at which the traffic of one or more upstream source …

The generalized assignment problem (GAP) asks to assign n clients to m servers in such a
way that the assignment cost is minimized, provided that all clients are assigned to a server …
