Multi-parametric routing mechanism in software-defined networks

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to represent a multi-parametric mechanism of the adaptive routing of different types of traffic based on the current quality of service requirements. Software-defined networking is a technology of the future. The current development trend of communication systems constantly confirms this fact. However, to date, the use of this technology in its current form is only justified in large networks of major technology companies and service providers. Currently, a large number of dynamic routing protocols have been developed in communication networks. Our task is to create a solution that can make it possible to use the ability of each node to make a decision on the transmission of information by every possible means for each type of traffic. This task can be accomplished by solving the problem of the development of comprehensive metric that characterizes the communication channels between devices in the network in detail and the problem of the development of a mechanism of adaptive network logical topology reconfiguration (route control) in order to ensure the high quality of service of the whole network that meets current quality requirements for a particular type of service.
