Description
QOSPF(Quality of Service Open Shortest Path First)based on QoS routing has been recognized as a missing piece in the evolution of QoS-based services in the Internet. Data mining has emerged as a tool for data analysis, discovery of new information, and autonomous decision-making. This paper focuses on routing algorithms and their applications for computing QoS routes in OSPF protocol. The proposed approach is based on a data mining approach using rough set theory, for which the attribute-value system about links of networks is created from network topology. Rough set theory of-fers a knowledge discovery approach to extracting routing-decisions from attribute set. The extracted rules can then be used to select significant routing-attributes and make routing-selections in routers. A case study is conducted to demonstrate that rough set theory is effective in finding the most significant attribute set. It is shown that the algo-rithm based on data mining and rough set offers a promising approach to the attribute-selection problem in internet routing.
