Tabu Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm Based Intelligent QoS Multicast Routing Algorithm

In this paper, a QoS multicast routing scheme based on TS (Tabu Search) and AFS (Artificial Fish Swarm) is presented. The corresponding model and its mathematical description are introduced. By combining fast searching ability of AFS and global optimization ability of TS, it tries to find the best multicast tree with the maximum probability of meeting multiple QoS constraints under the given cost and the inaccurate QoS information. Simulation results have shown that it is effective and efficient.
