Abstract

Hopfield networks are investigated as a means of implementing Quality of Service (QOS)-driven routing in multimedia computer networks. A new mapping of router networks onto continuous Hopfield networks is derived. Simulations for a network of 10 routers show the dependencies on parameters and the difficulties encountered.

1  Motivation

Multimedia routing means finding paths in a computer network for packets of different types of data by means of routing algorithms employing QOS-driven metrics (i.e. cost functions for the evaluation ...
