Maximum Flow Routing with Weighted Max-Min Fairness

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3266))

Abstract

Max-min is an established fairness criterion for allocating bandwidth for flows. In this work we look at the combined problem of multi-path routing and bandwidth allocation such that the flow allocation for each connection will be maximized and fairness will be maintained. We use the weighted extension of the max-min criterion to allocate bandwidth in proportion to the flows’ demand. Our contribution is an algorithm which, for the first time, solves the combined routing and bandwidth allocation problem for the case where flows are allowed to be splitted along several paths. We use multi commodity flow (MCF) formulation which is solved using linear programming (LP) techniques. These building blocks are used by our algorithm to derive the required optimal routing and allocation.
