Routing protocols can see degraded performance when nodes malfunction, but fault tolerant routing protocols address this by using multiple paths. Designing effective fault tolerant routing is difficult because the problem is computationally hard and exact path information is unknown. The paper presents an end-to-end estimation-based fault tolerant routing algorithm called E2FT that employs route estimation and selection processes. Route estimation iteratively improves path assessments through measurement, and route selection chooses multiple paths for delivery informed by the increasingly accurate estimates.

significantly degrade, if there are malfunctioned nodes in the network. Fault tolerant routing protocols address this problem by exploring the network redundancy through multipath routing.Designing an effective and efficient fault tolerant routing protocol is inherently hard, because the problem is NP-complete and the precise path information is unavailable. This paper solves this problem by presenting an end-to-end estimation-based fault tolerant routing algorithm E2FT. E2FT deploys two complementary processes: route estimation and route selection. Through endto-end performance measurement, the route estimation process gives improving estimation results via iterations. Based on these estimation results, the route selection process decides a multipath route for packet delivery. The route selection is refined progressively with the increasingly accurate estimation result using “confirmation” and “dropping” procedures. Through theoretical analysis and simulation, we show E2FT can achieve a high packet delivery rate with acceptable overhead.
