Abstract
We consider the constraint based explicit routing problem in MPLS based IP Network. In this problem, we are given a set of traffic demands and a network with different link capacities. The problem is to assign the demand commodities to the paths in the network while minimizing the maximum link load ratio. We formulate this problem as an integer programming problem and propose an efficient column generation technique. To strengthen the formulation, we consider some valid inequalities. We also incorporate the column generation technique with variable fixing scheme Computational results show that the algorithm gives high quality solutions in a short execution time.
