Flow Routing Aiming Load Balancing And Path Length In Multi-Hop Networks With Different Link Qualities

This paper considers an exact bi-objective approach for simultaneously minimizing the total cost of flow routing and the network bottleneck when link qualities and flow weights are relevant. This is useful for wireless multi-hop networks with long-term TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) flows. The introduced proposal can generate a minimal complete set of Pareto-optimal solutions. Our proposal is evaluated through simulation in which are explored different parameter settings and metrics.
