Implementation of robust routing is very critical in network communication. Connecting devices like routers maintain databases
for the whole network topology in the routing table. Each router needs to keep these tables updated with the best possible routes so
that an efficient communication can always take place in nondelay tolerant intelligent networks that include military and tactical
systems, vehicular communication networks, underwater acoustic networks, and intelligent sensor networks. The fast
construction of shortest-path tree (SPT) is important to devise an efficient routing in a nondelay tolerant networks. That is
why a simple and efficient algorithm is the need of the time. A robust routing solution SPT with OðV + EÞ time complexity is
proposed to supersede the existing landmark.
1. Introduction
Network routing is a backbone of intelligent communication
networks specifically nondelay tolerant networks that
include military and tactical systems, vehicular communica-
tion networks (VCNs), underwater acoustic networks
(UANs), and intelligent sensor networks (ISNs) to send the
communication data between vertices in a certain network.
For the purpose, every router maintain routing tables. These
tables manage routes of various network destinations. This
network routing process is generally accomplished based
on these routing tables and routes defined in them. This
makes the formation, written in a memory of these routers,
critically important for successful and efficient routing.
There exist many graph theoretic solutions of this routing
problem. In a network, the vertex of a graph represents a
router, and edge/link which connect these vertices represents
physical links between the routers.
The needs for broadband Internet applications have
increased rapidly in today’s Internet. Which makes high
speed routing inevitable and has become the key at open
shortest-path first (OSPF). As a result of topological changes
that take place due to due to an unavoidable circumstances
at the OSPF, these algorithms update the routing table to
handle the new topological changes. For example, if some
link fails in a network, then there is no way but to recalculate
these paths [1]. In such scenarios, these shortest paths are
regenerated by running the algorithms again [2].
We can formally define shortest-path problem as
follows:
