Routing and Traffic Engineering in Dynamic Packet-Oriented Networks

Spurred by the vision of seamless connectivity anywhere and anytime, ubiquitous and pervasive communications are playing increasingly important role in our daily lives. New types of applications are also affecting behaviour of users and changing their habits, essentially reinforcing the need for being always connected. This clearly represents a challenge for the telecommunications community especially for operating scenarios characterised by high dynamics of the network requiring appropriate routing and traffic engineering.
