An Algorithm for Contention Resolution in Label-Switched Networks

Abstract

In this article, we are comparing two schemes of contention resolution, one through loopless deflection routing and other through criticality-based contention resolution. The comparison is done on the basis of packet loss probability and average delay in the network. The networks considered for analysis are NSFnet network and 6-node network.
