Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of routing with two additive constraints in the hierarchical networks, such as the Internet. In order for scalability, the supported QoS information in the hierarchical networks has to be aggregated. We propose a novel method for aggregating the QoS information. To the best of our knowledge, our approach is the first study to use the area-minimization optimization, the de facto optimization problem of the QoS information aggregation. We use a set of real numbers to approximate the supported QoS between dif...
