Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes optimization methods useful for the design of dynamic routing protocols, as well as for the concomitant optimization of dynamic routing network design and dynamic routing performance. A variety of dynamic routing methods are used in practice, which include time-dependent, state-dependent, and event-dependent algorithms, and these are briefly outlined. We briefly review current practice in dynamic routing protocol design in voice, data, and integrated voice/data networks. Case studies are given for dynamic routing protocol design for a) real-time network routing, a state-dependent dynamic routing method used in practice in a very large-scale application, and b) integrated voice/data routing in an IP/MPLS network application. Methods for optimal min-cost network design and max-flow performance optimization include traffic-load-flow, discrete-event flow, and virtual-transport-flow optimization models. Examples are given in the application of these methods.
