Traffic Engineering in Large-scale Networks with Generalizable Graph Neural Networks

The paper introduces TELGEN, a traffic engineering algorithm that uses graph neural networks to predict an optimal TE algorithm rather than a direct solution. TELGEN generalizes across diverse network topologies and traffic patterns, achieving less than a 3% optimality gap on networks up to 5,000 nodes and 3.6 million links, while reducing solving time by up to 84% and training time by up to 79.6% compared to existing methods.

Graph Neural Networks are Heuristics

arXiv:2601. 13465v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph neural networks are usually treated as auxiliaries for combinatorial optimization: they imitate algorithms, guide search, or supply scores to classical procedures.
