A Novel Multi-path Routing Protocol

The paper advocates a different view of routing protocols according to technology trends nowadays. A Link State Multi-Path routing protocol, LSMP, is thereby introduced. This new hop-count based multi-path routing protocol has novel failure recovery mechanism, which is simple and effective. Through analysis and simulation, our protocol shows much faster convergence and better traffic balancing than traditional routing protocols. We propose LSMP to create an efficient routing architecture supporting Traffic Engineering (TE), while at the same time reducing complexity of a routing system.
