Intelligent scheduling of aggregate traffic in internet routers by means of Fuzzy systems

Abstract

Comunicación presentada a la "11th International Conference Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-based Systems" celebrada en Paris del 2 al 7 de Julio de 2006. ; A major research problem in Internet transport and network layers is the development of traffic regulation mechanisms that can cope with the requirements of a growing diversity of technologies, applications and services. This paper presents novel mechanisms for intelligent traffic scheduling in Internet routers by means of fuzzy logic based systems. A systematic design methodology, interpretability principles, evaluation over a broad range of network scenarios as well as practical implementation constraints have been considered. A comparative evaluation of results obtained by means of our fuzzy controllers as compared to that of traditional approaches is outlined. ; This work has been partially supported by projects TEC2005-04359/MIC from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science as well as TIC2006-635 from the Andalusian Regional Government. ; Peer Reviewed
