An Overview of Game Theory and its Applications in Network Routing

27865

In telecommunication networks, users can, in many cases, make decisions concerning routing. The term routing alludes to selecting paths in a computer network along which to send data, in computer networking. Routing directs forwarding, the passing of logically addressed packets from their source toward their last destination through routers. Game theory can be defined as a mathematical framework consisting of models and techniques analyzing the behavior of individuals concerned about their own benefits. It has been applied to a wide range of fields including economics, political science, biology, psychology, linguistics, and computer science. This paper presents the detailed overview of the Game Theory concepts and its applications in the Network Routing, both from cooperative and noncooperative perspectives with their some solution concepts. In addition, the network simulators which are used for examining the performances in the studies are given, too.
