Performance Measures of Swarm based Active Network for Multiclass Packet Routing-A Simulation study
Date Issued
2005
Abstract
Pervasive computing environments demand reliability
and multiclass QoS for end to end real time
applications. The concept of active network has been
recently adopted in many distributed environments.
This paper describes and examines the combination of
the active network concept with swarm based control
method called Swarm-based Active Network scheme
for optimized and tunable QoS priority routing. This
hybrid scenario is using the bandwidth clustering
approach in which packets are following the
predetermined path allocated by swarm based packets
(embedded swarms). This mechanism enables the
adaptation of the system to new conditions, and does
not require message bro-kers to fulfill multiclass QoS
demands. Simulation results reveal the response in
terms of the end-to-end delay, available bandwidth and
packet loss of this scheme under different traffic
measures.
