Abstract

While there are enormous studies on methods of attaining optimality in packets’ routing in queue networks in literature, none of these had sufficiently addressed the attainment of optimality and network stability concurrently. Since network stability influences network optimality, it is necessary to ensure optimal admissibility of customers to ensure optimal servers’ usage and network stability. The proposed model is a fuzzified routing protocol for enhanced system performance and network cost reduction. The model was benchmarked with Elementary Job Routing Problem with heterogeneous servers and general cost structures. Simulation was done using OMNeT++ as framework while dataset were randomly generated. Simulation results indicated that the proposed model has higher throughput with minimal customers’ losses and memory consumption. With these results, it was concluded that the proposed model is more optimal in customers’ routing as well as queue network control.
