The ratio of the number of requests accepted by the optimum offline algorithm to the expected number of requests accepted by our algorithm is O((log n + log log M)(log n + log M) log n), where M is the number of multicast groups and n is the number of nodes in the graph. We show that this is close to optimum by presenting an\r\nΩ(log n log M) lower bound on this ratio for any randomized online algorithm against an oblivious adversary, when M is much larger than the link capacities. Our lower bound applies even in the restricted case where the link capacities are much larger than bandwidth requested by a single multicast. We also present a simple proof showing that it is impossible to be competitive against an adaptive online adversary.\r\nAs in the previous online routing algorithms, our algorithm uses edge-costs when deciding on which is the best path to use. In contrast to the previous competitive algorithms in the throughput model, our cost is not a direct function of the edge load. The new cost definition allows us to decouple the effects of routing and admission decisions of different multicast groups.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"04","year":"2005"}
