摘要：In multipath networks each pair of source and destination has multiple paths between them so as to transmit data packets parallelly, and will obtain a certain level of satisfaction which is described as utility when obtaining a certain amount of bandwidth. In this paper we consider resource allocation for elastic applications in multipath networks with the objective of utility maximization, which is an intrinsically non-strictly convex optimization problem. We analyze the resource allocation model for elastic applications and discuss its implication from an economic point of view. In order to obtain the optimal resource allocation, we present a heuristic resource allocation algorithm via Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which is verified through some numerical examples.
