Intelligent analysis and designing of network routing provides an edge in this increasingly fast era. Routing is on the most important issue that has a significant impact on the networks performance. An ideal routing algorithm should strive to find an optimum path for packet transmission within specified time so as to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS). This paper gives overview of solving shortest path routing problem. It discusses various Quality of Service parameters getting optimized solution.
