Abstract
This paper proposes a novel approach to performing residual bandwidth optimization with QoS guarantees in multi-class networks. The approach combines the use of a new highly scalable hybrid GA-VNS algorithm (Genetic Algorithm with Variable Neighborhood Search) with the efficient and accurate estimation of QoS requirements using empirical effective bandwidth estimations. Given a QoS-aware demand matrix, experimental results indicate that the GA-VNS algorithm shows significantly higher success rate in terms of converging to optimum/near optimum solution in comparison to pure GA and another combination of GA and local search heuristic, and also exhibits better scalability and performance. Additional results also show that the proposed solution performs significantly better than OSPF in optimizing residual bandwidth in a medium to large sized network.
