A Genetic Algorithm Based on Cell Loss for Dynamic Routing in ATM Networks

New B-ISDN will have to ensure a high standard of quality of service measured as delay in the communications, guarantee of safety communications and of course no loss of information. Although the routing optimization problem has been previously dealt with in the bibliography, not many works have been presented according to the routing in ATM networks using cell loss as the overall criterion. Here a new model based on cell loss is presented for an ATM network with matrix switches and queues at the end. A quickly evaluated genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the model.
