Estudo de técnicas de otimização em redes usando o emulador de redes Mininet

Abstract

In the scientific world there are works that propose exact solutions to biobjective problems for network flows routing, which minimizes the total hops of all flows and the network bottleneck. However, traditional graph metrics are presented, such as the set cardinality of non-dominated solutions, biggest bottleneck and amplitude of the total hops. There are works that perform evaluations using network metrics but use heuristics to solve them. This work investigates the use of an exact algorithm to solve these problems types applied to real scenarios, i.e., network metrics with support of a network emulator denominated Mininet. It allows to represent characteristics of IEEE 802.11 wireless links, imitating real applications based on the internet transport protocol called TCP, allowing to capture of metrics such as latency and bandwidth.
