APPLICATION OF FUZZY CONTROL TO ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC ROUTING IN TELEPHONE NETWORKS

This paper looks at the development of a fuzzy controller for adaptive traffic routing in telephone networks. As the information related to network performance is imprecise by nature, a new approach based on fuzzy logic could prove to be efficient. So a simplified inference method has been derived which attempts to represent gradual inference rules using a fuzzy control. The inference method is essentially based on an heuristic rule derived from expert knowledge and human experience. The analysis of preliminary results obtained from this system is carried out on a significant testbed network to validate the approach.
