Abstract: The classic circuit-switched telephone networks as well as modern broadband integrated services digital networks (B-ISDN) need good admission control and routing strategies to guarantee an efficient use of the network resource. We compare the performance of two nongreedy strategies, competitive on-line routing (COL) and state-dependent routing (SDR), by using an extensive set of simulations. In most of our experiments, SDR has a noticeable performance advantage over COL and SDR-ADAPT (the adaptive version of SDR) by knowing the traffic in advan...
