Abstract
The invention discloses a method and apparatus for assigning link "distance" metrics that result in near optimal routing for a network formed of nodes (routers) and links, where each link has a capacity associated with it, and where source-destination flows are given. The routing optimality is measured with respect to some objective function (e.g., average network delay).

Method for maximizing throughput for multiple links using directional elements

TL;DR: In this article, a maximum throughput metric is provided for separate links through the network between a source node and a collection of end-point nodes to be optimized which is based on measurement of link quality with respect to neighboring nodes and information about link quality and other factors related to propagation delay or "latency" as reported to it by other nodes regarding their neighboring links.

Method and device for dynamic synchronous transfer mode in a dual ring topology

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic synchronous transfer mode network (DSMTN) consisting of two ring topologies (12 and 14) having opposite fiber direction is considered, where the time slots are dynamically allocated to the nodes (60-70) and the first ring topology is adapted to transmit frames only in a first fiber direction (D1).

The New Routing Algorithm for the ARPANET

TL;DR: The new ARPANET routing algorithm is an improvement over the old procedure in that it uses fewer network resources, operates on more realistic estimates of network conditions, reacts faster to important network changes, and does not suffer from long-term loops or oscillations.
