Abstract

A genetic algorithm-based routing service for building a multicast distributed tree on Simulation Grid is proposed. Different from existing algorithms, the proposed routing algorithm doesn't demand that all the routers in the whole network have multicast functionality. It can meet federates' QoS requirements and minimize the bandwidth consumption. We formalize the routing as a multi-objective optimization problem, which is NP-hard, and apply GA (Genetic Algorithm) to solve it. Also, we focus on the two important aspects of encoding & decoding and fitness function construction in our GA, and present the procedure of seeking the optimal paths. Experiment results have showed that the proposed approach is feasible.
