The path selection problem in IBM's Networking BroadBand Services is solved by a heuristic method based on the Bellman-Ford algorithm. A minimum hop path is derived to satisfy end-to-end delay constraints and load balancing. Other quality of service specifications are used as link constraints to reduce the number of path constraints in the network.

This paper describes the path selection function in Networking BroadBand Services (NBBS), which Is IBM's arch/lecture for high-speed, multim...

NBBS path selection framework. (Networking BroadBand Services)
IBM Systems Journal ; Path selection function is at the core of every routing protocol. In a packet-switching network, path selection determines the path each packet takes from the originating end station to its destination. Paths are selected to satisfy a constraint and to optimize some criteria. A routing protocol is
