Quality-of-Service Routing with Two Concave Constraints

Routing is a process of finding a network path from a source node to a destination node. A good routing protocol should find the "best path" from a source to a destination. When there are independent constraints to be considered, the "best path" is not well-defined. In our previous work, we developed a line segment representation for Quality-of-Service routing with bandwidth and delay requirements. In this paper, we propose how to adopt the line segment when a request has two concave constraints. We have developed a series of operations for constructing routing tables under the distance-vector protocol. We evaluate the performance through extensive simulations.
