Network Traffic Drop Minimization During Maintenance Using Jaya Optimization Algorithm

Network Availability and Quality are important factors which determine a successful telecommunication business nowadays. The Availability of the service is determined by the number of traffic drop or packet drops on the network. It is very important to have minimized these kinds of drops to increase the Availability and the Reliability of any system. External and Internal conditions factors will affect the regular operation and efficiency of any electronic components. Using network telecommunication LAN from Iraq map, and examining the Availability of this network under maintenance, to keep these rates high, the components must be under scheduled maintenance periodically. Planning these maintenance activities must be done carefully to make sure the packet drop and also the maintenance cost will reach to minimum limits, this will be done by finding minimum packet drop when having an accepted fixed cost, and vice Versa. This problem is formulated as the objective function, which is optimized using Jaya Metaheuristic algorithm. The results of this research are trying to find the best time, minimum packet loss, and minimum cost that seems reasonable for the user and reaches to the best maintenance schedule for all components, in the end, reducing the effect of these cut off on network operation.
