Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊科學系 === 89 === As the rapid development of Internet, a growing number of computers are connected to the global computer network. For proper operation of the network, the routing protocols play an important role. A good routing protocol ensures the network to operate correctly and smoothly.But how well can a routing protocol perform ? This is the problem we try to solve in this thesis.The solution will be very valuable both academically and practically. In this thesis, we propose a method that can obtain a good average packet delay based on a modified shortest path routing. This method first calculates several shortest routes for each origin-destination pair in the network. Then in the course from the origin node to the destination node, a packet is rerouted to the shortest route in every node according to the traffic condition at that time so that it can adapt to the changing traffic. Besides, because the rerouting is restricted to the previously selected routes, no loop will be formed. According to our experiment, this routing approach performs much better than single shortest path routing, especially when the network is under heavy load.
