New Algorithm Boosts Network Efficiency
palegray.net writes “Researchers at the University of California have developed a new network routing algorithm that has the potential to significantly boost Internet traffic routing efficiency. This new approach focuses on the needs of dynamic networks, where connections are frequently transient. From the article: ‘What the team did with their new routing algorithm, according to Savage’s student Kirill Levchenko, was to reduce the “communication overhead” of route computation — by an order of magnitude.’ For the technically inclined, the full research publication (PDF) is available.”
