Summary:
An information network has hierarchical structures both physically and functionally. Higher-layer control is always influenced by lower-layer behavior and lower-layer control always behaves in accordance with requests issued by higher-layer control. Although there are lessons learned from practical experiments, simulation experiments, and mathematical analysis, interactions between layered network control methods is not fully explored. In this paper, we analyze interaction between layered control mechanisms, more specifically, adaptive routing protocols based on a nonlinear mathematical model. We change the degree of coupling of two layers and evaluate the convergence time and the path length. Results show that lower-layer routing with higher-layer awareness provides the better performance, which suggests similarity to perception process of ambiguous figures in the human brain.
