A Novel Performance Metric of Routing Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The widely used routing algorithm performance metric of adaptiveness cannot precisely measure performance of routing algorithm. In this paper, we propose a new metric of routing pressure for measuring routing algorithm performance. It has higher precision of measuring routing algorithm performance than degree of adaptiveness. Performance of routing algorithm can be evaluated through routing pressure without simulation. It can explain why congestion takes place in network. In addition, where and when congestion takes place can be pointed out without simulation.
