Genetic Algorithm Applications to Broadcast Traffic Management in an ATM LAN Network

유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 ATM LAN에서의 Broadcast 트래픽 운용

Presented is a Genetic Algorithm(GA) for dynamic partitioning an ATM LANE(LAN Emulation) network. LANE proves to be one of the best solutions to provide guaranteed Quality of Service(QoS) for mid-size campus or enterprise networks with a little modification of legacy LAN facilities. However, there are few researches on the efficient LANE network operations to deal with scalability issues arising from broadcast traffic delivery. To cope with this scalability issue, proposed is a decision model named LANE Partitioning Problem(LPP) which aims at partitioning the entire LANE network into multiple Emulated LANs(ELANs), each of which works as an independent virtual LAN.
