SOLVING MULTICAST ROUTING PROBLEM USING PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION

In a given network there exist many paths from source to destination, among all selected paths finding the optimal shortest path is a challenging task. In this research paper, we proposed a new concept of particle swarm optimization technique, called swarm intelligence, to solve the multicast routing problem to find out the optimal route associated with a network, here we also used triangular fuzzy number tools to encode particles in PSO (particle swarm optimization), first it breaks the network into small spaces and from the small space it computes the optimal path.
