  1. On Optimal Routing with Multiple Traffic Matrices Chun Zhang, Yong Liu Weibo Gong, Jim Kurose, Robert Moll, Don Towsley University of Massachusetts at Amherst Mar 15, 2005

  2. Outline • Motivation • Background • Optimal routing with multiple TMs • Conclusion and future work

  3. Routing optimization problem: Single set of routes for multiple TMs Motivation (1) Routing optimization relies on good understanding of traffic demands • Internet traffic uncertainty: • Bursty and dynamic • Considerable traffic estimation error “Multiple TMs” model Internet traffic uncertainty • Dynamic traffic: demands between routing update period • Estimation error: possible traffic demands

  4. High Fine ? ? ? Coarse Low Motivation (2) Yes [D. Applegate, E. Cohen (SIGCOMM 03)] ? Yes [B. Fortz, M. Thorup (IEEE JSAC, 02)]

  5. Our Contribution Single set of routes for Multiple TMs Identify the fundamental performance gap for two general routing approaches • OptCost(flow routing) ≤ OptCost(destination routing) • Optimal destination routing may have loops Propose solution methods for • Flow routing • Destination routing

  9. 1 3 4 5 6 2 Destination Routing Routing fraction for each destination Smaller routing table, (*,6) 50% -> 4 (*,6) 50% -> 5

  10. Single TM : Property • Optimal routing (flow/destination) must be loop-free • Loop-free: no packet visits a node more than once • OptCost(flow) == OptCost(destination) “Internet Traffic Engineering without Full Mesh Overlaying”, Z. Wang, Y. Wang, L. Zhang (Infocom 01)

  11. Single TM : Algorithms • Centralized algorithm • Control variables: flow data rates • Convex optimization “Optimal routing in a packet switched computer network”, D. Cantor, M. Gerla (IEEE Transactions on Computer, 1974) • Distributed algorithm • Control variables: routing fraction • Gradient-based algorithm “A minimum delay routing algorithm using distributed computation”, R. Gallager (IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1977)

  12. Outline • Motivation • Background • Optimal routing for multiple TMs • Conclusion and future work

  13. Formulation Optimal Routing for Multiple TMs • Multiple TMs • Weights • Under single set of routes, TM costs Goal: single set of routes for multiple TMs, minimize expected cost

  14. Flow Routing • Routing variables: , fraction of traffic rate from to forwarded by node over link • Extension of Gallager’s gradient algorithm • Gradient over all TMs • Prove convergence

  15. Destination Routing Multiple TMs unique properties • OptCost(dest) ≥ OptCost(flow) • Single TM: OptCost(dest) == OptCost(flow) • Optimal destination routing may have loop • Single TM: no loop • Theorem: feasibility problem is NP-complete • Single TM: polynomial

  17. Heuristic Algorithm (1) : Bounds : optimal cost for TM : optimal cost for TMs (dest. routing) : optimal cost for element-wise maximumTM Lower bound Upper bound

  18. Heuristic Algorithm (2) • Combining TMs (in upper/lower bound) into a single TM • Perturbed weight vector • Use the optimal routing of the combined single TM How to combine? • Search in perturbed weight vector space

  19. Heuristic Algorithm (3) • Algorithm • Global stage Evaluate 183 uniformly sampled vectors out of : discretized perturbed weight vector space • Local stage Improve quality for 10 most promising vectors by searching in neighborhood (two weights diff.)

  20. Heuristic Algorithm (4): Result • Synthetic network and traffic • 50 nodes, 160 links (GT-ITM) • 2 TMs (B. Fortz, M. Thorup, Infocom 00 )

  21. Conclusion Computing a single set of routes for multiple TMs Identify fundamental performance gap between two general routing approaches • OptCost(flow routing) ≤ OptCost(destination routing) • Optimal destination routing may have loop Propose solution methods • Flow routing • Extend Gallager’s gradient method • Destination routing • NP-hard problem • Propose, evaluate heuristic algorithm

  22. Future Work • Side effects: minimizing “expected cost “ • Bad performance for individual TM • “Robust” routing: emphasis on individual TM
