abstract = {With the increasing usage of QoS-based applications,
traffic engineering in communication networks has become
more crucial. For the optimal utilization of network
resources, service providers need to consider multiple
criteria that can be customer- or traffic-oriented.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been developed to
apply more convenient traffic engineering in autonomous
systems. This thesis focuses on the multiobjective
optimization of Label Switched Path design problem in MPLS
networks. Minimal routing cost, optimal load-balance in the
network, and minimal splitting of traffic form the
objectives. The problem is formulated as a zero-one mixed
integer program and aims at exploring the trade-offs among
the objectives. The integer constraints make the problem
NP-hard. In the thesis first both the exact and heuristic
multiobjective optimization approaches are discussed, and
then a heuristic framework based on simulated annealing is
developed. Various search strategies within the framework
are investigated and experimental studies are carried out
for a performance comparison.},
