Abstract

Multi-path routing has been increasingly used to improve aggregate bandwidth for big data transfer in various network environments. Typical solutions to this problem include a path set with the largest total bandwidth and the widest path pair. In this paper, we formulate a multi-path routing problem to maximize the total bandwidth of k edge-disjoint paths, where k > 1. We show this problem to be NP-complete and propose a heuristic algorithm with focus on global optimization. We implement the proposed algorithm and evaluate its performance in comparison with existing solutions in the literature. Extensive simulation results illustrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in terms of aggregate bandwidth and satisfaction of edge count constraint.
