A Simple Way to Compute Parameters for Load Balancer in Optical Networks

Abstract:

In this paper, we use the optical dynamic grooming concept to design load balancer. This paper proposes a new solution to achieve optimal load balancing for a streaming server. Dynamic traffic grooming can be utilized in combination with multipath routing to serve the bandwidth intensive applications when resource is not sufficient in the optical network. At the same time, most of the connections require bandwidth smaller than the capacity available in a wavelength, leading to low resource utilization of established light-paths. Leveraging multipath routing and dynamic grooming can efficiently utilize the residual capacity of the under-used wavelengths [.We inherit the concept of dynamic traffic grooming in optical network. We were able to develop a Windows XP load balancer. We designed some experiments to evaluate the performance of our system to determine if our system was capable of achieving the load balance. The solution will allow enterprises and service providers to reach load balancing purposes without adding additional hardware by utilizing an idle, low cost switch.
