The authors propose a single way to dramatically improve the performance of input-queued
ATM packet switches beyond the 82% saturation point obtained in previous work. The …

This book describes, analyzes, and recommends traffic engineering (TE) and quality of
service (QoS) optimization methods for integrated voice/data dynamic routing networks …

Circuit switching is a de facto switching technology widely employed in today's networks
where the conventional approaches to routing have remained unchanged for many years …

Real-time network routing (RTNR) is a new adaptive routing method. With RTNR, switches
have a simple way of exchanging link status bit map information, thereby determining the …

The nature of the traffic-routing problem is described, and early studies of state-dependent
routing are noted. A state-dependent scheme seeks to route each call so as to minimize the …

The application of fuzzy control to adaptive traffic routing in telephone networks is
investigated. The authors use, on one hand, the properties of fuzzy control techniques and …

The objectives of network management control are outlined, and two categories of control
are defined: network traffic controls and network configuration controls. Network traffic …

The authors describe the structure of the worldwide intelligent network (WIN), describe
methods for its design and planning, investigate the adequacy of decentralized control for …

The evolution of circuit-switched networks is analyzed with respect to the functional
innovations that allowed for new traffic controls. The technical alternatives for routing …

A state-dependent call admission and routing policy for a multiservice circuit-switched
network is analyzed. The policy is based on decomposition of the Markov decision problem …
