In telecommunication networks based on the current Ethernet technology, routing of traffic
demands is based on multiple spanning trees: the network operator configures different …

This paper deals with optimal load balancing in telecommunication networks based on
multiple spanning tree routing. This is the case in switched Ethernet networks where the …

This paper focuses on traffic engineering of telecommunication networks, which arises in the
context of switched Ethernet networks. It addresses the minimization of the maximum …

This paper deals with optimal load balancing in telecommunication networks. For a
capacitated telecommunications network with single path routing and an estimated traffic …

Given a capacitated telecommunications network with single path routing and an estimated
traffic demand matrix, we aim to determine the routing path of each traffic commodity such …

Switched Ethernet networks rely on the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure a cycle-free
connectivity between nodes, by reducing the topology of the network to a spanning tree. The …

This article deals with the routing of a given set of traffic flows over a telecommunications
network with given link capacities. The aim is to optimize the network load balancing. We …

In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic is proposed which combines the GRASP with path
relinking method and Column Generation. The key idea of this method is to run a GRASP …

Ethernet networks rely on the so-called spanning tree protocol (STP) in order to prevent
loops. This protocol imposes a severe penalty on the performance and scalability of metro …

Summary IEEE Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a layer-2 protocol which ensures a loop
free topology in Metro Ethernet networks. It is based on Minimum Spanning Tree solution …
