A CP-LP Hybrid Method for Unique Shortest Path Routing Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider a routing problem related to the widely used Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. We address the special version of OSPF which requires unique and symmetrical paths. To solve this problem, we propose a hybrid approach which combines Constraint Programming (CP) and Linear Programming (LP). Our approach employs some new constraint with problem-specific filtering algorithms to efficiently remove inconsistent values from partial solutions. Moreover, we use two LP relaxations to indicate infeasible partial solutions due either to network capacity constraints, or to protocol-specific routing constraints. We show the efficiency of our complete approach on backbone networks with hundreds of different demands to route.

Finding the Shortest Hamiltonian Path for Iranian Cities Using Hybrid Simulated Annealing and Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms
The traveling salesman problem is a well-known and important combinatorial optimization problem. The goal of this problem is to find the shortest Hamiltonian path that visits each city in a given list exactly once and then returns to the starting city. In this paper, for the first time, the shortest Hamiltonian path is achieved for 1071 Iranian cities. For solving this large-scale problem, tw...
متن کاملA Novel Protection Guaranteed, Quality of Transmission Aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment Algorithm for All-optical Networks
Transparent All Optical Networks carry huge traffic and any link failure can cause the loss of gigabits of data; hence protection and its guarantee becomes necessary at the time of failure. Many protection schemes were presented in the literature, but none of them speaks about protection guarantee. Also, in all optical networks, due to absence of regeneration capabilities, the physical layer i...
متن کاملA HYBRID ALGORITHM FOR THE OPEN VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM
The open vehicle routing problem (OVRP) is a variance of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) that has a unique character which is its open path form. This means that the vehicles are not required to return to the depot after completing service. Because this problem belongs to the NP-hard problems, many metaheuristic approaches like the ant colony optimization (ACO) have been used to solve OVRP in...

متن کاملA Multi-path Hybrid Routing Algorithm in Network Routing
The shortest path tree construction is essential in network routing, and the Dijkstra algorithm, which is a static routing algorithm, is widely used. When some links in a network have new weights, dynamic routing algorithms are more efficient than static routing algorithms. This is because the dynamic routing algorithms reduce redundancy by recomputing only the affected sections of the network ...
