Abstract

Our focus on this paper was to apply adaptive load balancing to utilize network resource more efficiently and minimize congestion. We propose an adaptive load balancing scheme based on the real-time measurement, which is able to hold path integrity per flow while minimizing congestion. The simulation results show the proposed scheme can effectively balance load among multiple parallel LSPs.

Keywords: d balancing; Flow-level; real-time measurement; traffic splitting
