Two-Stage Algorithm for Bi-objective Black-Box Traffic Engineering

Published: 10 November 2023 Publication History

Abstract

We have a directed graph describing a network and an origin-destination matrix for customer internet traffic demands. Our aim is to optimize the routing of the traffic by adjusting the weights of the graph links. Though the internal design of the routing protocol is unavailable, we have access to the simulator to model it. Given the link weights, the simulator provides the values for traffic flow on each link. If the flow on a link exceeds its capacity, this link is considered overloaded. The objectives of the problem are to minimize the total number of overloaded links and the distance from the initial weight vector. We have developed a scheme based on a novel integer linear programming model. It uses values of the traffic flow changes depending on the link weights modifications. In the two-stage approach, this scheme is used to provide the initial Pareto set approximation. The approach outperforms the state-of-the-art multi-objective evolutionary algorithms.
