Research of Computing-Aware Traffic Steering Scheme for Time-Variant Routing

In practical network deployment, factors such as dynamic changes in the network, green energy conservation, and resource constraints must be considered. Consequently, network topology is transitioning from static to dynamic deployment. This shift results in time-variant characteristics of routing connections between network nodes, with Time-Variant Routing (TVR) emerging as a new technical framework in the field of routing research. This paper proposes a computing-aware traffic steering scheme for TVR networks. By sensing changes in device availability, traffic volume, and network topology within TVR networks, the scheme formulates routing strategies based on time-varying patterns, selects appropriate routing nodes, and achieves flexible and reliable route orchestration and management. Additionally, this scheme includes authentication of routing node identities within the TVR network and time synchronization between TVR networks. The proposed scheme can be implemented in the base network forwarding process through compatible incremental deployment for computing-based route in TVR networks.
