A New Minimum-Interference Routing Algorithm Based on Flow Maximization

          A new on-line routing algorithm based on the notion of minimum-interference is presented. The algorithm maximizes the sum of residual flows of ingress--egress pairs, using a simple heuristic method. It achieves good results in terms of total bandwidth routed.
