Anycast routing algorithm based on hybrid strategy

To solve problem of the routing optimization and load balance in the selection of multimedia server, this paper is aimed to design an anycast routing algorithm based on hybrid strategy that combined ant colony optimazition algorithm with differential evolution algorithm, during the process of route discovery, considering not only the status of link, such as bandwidth, delay, but also introducing the server status, to discover a combination of the server and path which meet the requirement and achieve or near to the best. And then guiding the users' request to the best server.
