Improve Performance of Routing Protocols in MPLS Networks for Video Conference Based on the Guaranteed Bandwidth and End-to-End Delay

Today, video conferencing is one of the most sought after features of the Internet. The purpose of routing algorithms in online video conferencing is to increase the number of requests accepted according to Quality of Service (QoS) satisfaction. Most research in this field focuses solely on bandwidth, and relatively few studies consider both bandwidth and delay constraints. In this paper, we propose a new routing algorithm in the context of MPLS networks with fuzzy rules approach that considers both bandwidth limitation and end-to-end delay (bandwidth-delay) for path searches. The fuzzy system is a fuzzy weighted prediction model for filtering high resource requests. A combination of traditional routing and MPLS improves the mobility mechanism, scalability and overall network performance. We name the proposed algorithm as Fuzzy Bandwidth and Delay Routing Algorithm (FBDRA). The FBDRA is attempting to delay requests with high bandwidth and maximum end-to-end delay. We will use Matlab R2017a to simulate many different scenarios and measure criteria such as the number of requests received, average route length, and load balancing. In addition, we compare the performance of FBDRA compared to some of the previous related work such as MHA, WSP, MIRA, BCRA, MIRAD, BGDG, BGLC, SAMCRA and MDMF. The simulation results show that the FBDRA provides the best performance for video conferencing.
