A Preliminary Investigation of the Minimum Number of Independent Paths of Multipath Routing

摘要：

The primary objective of network communication is to transmit information between multiple sourcedestination pairs efficiently and reliability. Multipath routing is an effective way to improve the performance of network communication by distributing network traffic among multiple alternative paths. Less number of paths used averagely will definitely leads to higher efficiency. In this paper, we try to find the minimum number of independent parallel paths needed when performing multipath routing. We model the path selection from an information perspective, and investigate the relationship between burstiness of network traffic and the lower bound of path number needed for path selection in multipath routing.
