Abstract :
Dynamic routing concepts are described, and the design and control of dynamic routing networks is discussed. The vastly improved performance of the networks is illustrated with examples from operational experience. The evolution of dynamic routing with respect to several future directions is highlighted. These directions are extension to new networks and services, robust design and real-time adaptivity, and extension to interconnecting networks, including the Worldwide Intelligent Network.<>
