A study on real-time data dissemination problem

Multicommodity flow problem deals with delivering multiple data items residing on different source machines on a networking system to their destinations in an efficient manner, while respecting the bandwidth and cost limitations that may be imposed on the system components. In classical approach, each data item is sent via single route. Employing multiple routes simultaneously is a new topic and an active research area. Real-time applications are emerging in many disciplines of science and engineering. This study defines real-time multisource k-split real time data dissemination problem. Novel heuristics are proposed and evaluated as well.
