Abstract: AbstractWe propose a routing strategy in which connection requests with specific bandwidth demands can be assigned to one of several alternative paths connecting the source to the destination. The primary goal of this multiple‐path approach is to compensate for the inaccuracy of the knowledge available to routing nodes, caused by the limited frequency of link state (LS) information exchanges. We introduce a collection of K‐shortest path routing schemes and investigate their performance under a variety of traffic conditions and network confi...
