Abstract

In order to improve the real-time performance of the switched Ethernet, genetic algorithm is used to optimize the subnet partition. Firstly, the existing methods are analyzed. Secondly, a linked list encoding and new operators for this special encoding are designed. Then, based on the network calculus, the calculating expression of the maximum network delay is proposed. Lastly, an experiment on ring topology switched Ethernet shows that this optimization method could obtain the optimal subnet partition results of all possible grouping numbers by a single genetic algorithm run and the maximum network delay is obviously shortened.
