Abstract

Increasing size, complexity, and dynamics of networks require adaptive routing mechanisms. This paper proposes initial concepts towards a learning and generalization mechanism to support adaptive real-time routing. An ASOCS learning model is employed as the basic adaptive router. Generalization of routing is based not only on source/destination address, but also on such factors as packet size, priority, privacy, network congestion, etc. Mechanisms involving continual adaptation based on feedback are presented. Extensions to conventional ...
