Abstract

Bandwidth-delay constrained least-cost multicast routing is a typical NP-complete problem. Although some swarm-based intelligent algorithms (e.g., genetic algorithm (GA)) are proposed to solve this problem, the shortcomings of local search affect the computational effectiveness. Taking the ability of building a robust network of Physarum network model (PN), a new hybrid algorithm, Physarum network-based genetic algorithm (named as PNGA), is proposed in this paper. In PNGA, an updating strategy based on PN is used for improving the crossover operator of traditional GA, in which the same parts of parent chromosomes are reserved and the new offspring by the Physarum network model is generated. In order to estimate the effectiveness of our proposed optimized strategy, some typical genetic algorithms and the proposed PNGA are compared for solving multicast routing. The experiments show that PNGA has more efficient than original GA. More importantly, the PNGA is more robustness that is very important for solving the multicast routing problem.
