A Traffic Delay and Bandwidth Based Multipath Scheduling Approach for Optimal Routing in Underwater Optical Network

Abstract

Optical networks are future networks that will support the vast bandwidth demand for communication in diverse domain and service applications scale to worldwide through underwater fiber optical for the demand of broadband Internet-traffic. The distribution of this network has grown to its extent, which can be utilized to get benefited through efficient multipath routing dynamically across multiple fiber-optic links to meet the bandwidth requirements, network load balancing and resource optimization. The increase in invariable traffic rate in communication make it very challenging to manage and provide the QoS. In this paper, we aim to present a solution on the efficiency of multipath routing based on the comprehensive bandwidth remaining and the variable traffic delay computation in an accepted optical paths known as Traffic Delay and Bandwidth based Multipath (TDB-MP) scheduling approach. The proposed TDB-MP approach will provide the most efficient routes for data routing is in situation of congestion with an optimal overhead and delay to accomplish high throughput. An experimental evaluation over a network simulator is performed to demonstrate the improvisation of the proposed approach at different network traffic load conditions.
