Abstract
Internet service provider faces a daunting challenge in provisioning network efficiently. We introduce a proactive multipath routing scheme that tries to route traffic according to its built-in properties. Based on mathematical analysis, our approach disperses incoming traffic flows onto multiple paths according to path qualities. Long-lived flows are detected and migrated to the shortest path if their QoS could be guaranteed there. Suggesting non-disjoint path set, four types of dispersion policies are analyzed, and flow classification policy which relates flow trigger with link state update period is investigated. Simulation experiments show that our approach outperforms traditional single path routing significantly.
