Resumo

Recent emerging services have reshaped the paradigm of network organization and content delivery. In this context, users generate increasingly heterogeneous traffic while delegating processing tasks to large data centers located at the network core. The resulting growth in data exchange among core network elements demands high transmission rates and efficient resource utilization, requirements addressed by the SDM-DC-EON architecture. Nevertheless, effective resource management mechanisms are still necessary to ensure that service requirements are met. To this end, this master’s master’s thesis proposes three routing algorithms designed for the aforementioned architecture. The proposed solutions achieve performance comparable to existing approaches in the literature, while delivering superior results, particularly with respect to the Bandwidth Blocking Ratio, which directly reflects the number of successfully established network connections.
