Abstract
The options for ensuring timely delivery of packages to the addressee in networks with duplication of communication paths with the addressee for some subscribers are analyzed. Connecting subscribers to two communication routes with the addressee allows you to load-balance routes and carry out duplicated transmissions aimed at increasing the probability of delivering at least one copy of the transmitted packet in the required time. The possibilities of using route switch nodes for traffic management and replication of transmitted packets are analyzed. At the same time, two variants of duplicated transmissions are considered. For the first option, new replicas and ways of their transmission to the addressee are formed in one of the nodes connecting the existing paths by the first accepted replica. The replica coming in second is destroyed. For the second option, changing the transmission paths of replicas generated from the source in the nodes linking the paths is not carried out. The area of effectiveness of the proposed variants of duplicated transmissions is shown. The influence of the location of route switches on the timeliness of package delivery from subscribers connected to one or two communication paths with the addressee is investigated. The existence of an optimal arrangement of route switches is shown.
