The satellite network plays an increasingly important role in the global communication. With the development of communication technology, quality of service requirements have become more and more complex and diverse and the quality of service routing strategy of software-defined satellite network has become a more and more hot and difficult issue. In this paper, an interval-type-2 fuzzy set routing algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the multi- quality of service routing problem in software-defined satellite network is modeled. Then, the interval-type-2 fuzzy set routing algorithm is proposed to make fuzzy decisions. A series of experiments conducted in Network Simulator (Version 2.35) have proved that the proposed interval type-2 fuzzy set routing algorithm can reduce average delay, increase total throughput and reduce packet drop rate.
