QOS-BASED MULTICAST ROUTING OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHMS FOR INTERNET

摘要

Most of the multimedia applications require strict Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantee during the communication between a single source and multiple destinations. The paper mainly presents a QoS Multicast Routing algorithms based on Genetic Algorithm (QMRGA). Simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm is capable of discovering a set of QoS-based near optimized, non-dominated multicast routes within a few iterations, even for the networks environment with uncertain parameters.
