Load Balancing plays a vital role in modern data centers to distribute traffic among instances of network functions or services. State-of-the-art load balancers such as Silkroad dispatch traffic obliviously without considering the real-time utilization of service instances and therefore can lead to uneven load distribution and suboptimal performance. In this paper, we design and implement Spotlight, a scalable and distributed load balancing architecture that maintains connection-to-instance mapping consistency at the edge of data center networks. Spotlight uses a new stateful flow dispatcher which periodically polls instances load and dispatches incoming connections to instances in proportion to their available capacity. Our design utilizes distributed control plane and in-band flow dispatching and thus scales horizontally in data center networks. Through extensive flow-level simulation and packet-level experiments on a testbed, we demonstrate that compared to existing methods Spotlight distributes the traffic more efficiently and has near-optimum performance in terms of overall service utilization. Moreover, Spotlight is not sensitive to utilization polling interval and therefore can be implemented with low polling frequency to reduce the amount of control traffic. Indeed, Spotlight achieves the mentioned performance improvements using O(100ms) polling interval.

The recently created IETF 6TiSCH working group combines the high reliability and low-energy consumption of IEEE 802.15.4e Time Slotted Channel Hopping with IPv6 for industrial Internet of Things. We propose a distributed link scheduling algorithm, ca
lled Local Voting, for 6TiSCH networks that adapts the schedule to the network conditions. The algorithm tries to equalize the link load (defined as the ratio of the queue length over the number of allocated cells) through cell reallocation. Local Voting calculates the number of cells to be added or released by the 6TiSCH Operation Sublayer (6top). Compared to a representative algorithm from the literature, Local Voting provides simultaneously high reliability and low end-to-end latency while consuming significantly less energy. Its performance has been examined and compared to On-the-fly algorithm in 6TiSCH simulator by modeling an industrial environment with 50 sensors.
Aiming at the local overload of multi-controller deployment in software-defined networks, a load balancing mechanism of SDN controller based on reinforcement learning is designed. The initial paired migrate-out domain and migrate-in domain are obtain
ed by calculating the load ratio deviation between the controllers, a preliminary migration triplet, contains migration domain mentioned above and a group of switches which are subordinated to the migrate-out domain, makes the migration efficiency reach the local optimum. Under the constraint of the best efficiency of migration in the whole and without migration conflict, selecting multiple sets of triples based on reinforcement learning, as the final migration of this round to attain the global optimal controller load balancing with minimum cost. The experimental results illustrate that the mechanism can make full use of the controllers resources, quickly balance the load between controllers, reduce unnecessary migration overhead and get a faster response rate of the packet-in request.
Recently, fog computing has been introduced as a modern distributed paradigm and complement to cloud computing to provide services. Fog system extends storing and computing to the edge of the network, which can solve the problem about service computi
ng of the delay-sensitive applications remarkably besides enabling the location awareness and mobility support. Load balancing is an important aspect of fog networks that avoids a situation with some under-loaded or overloaded fog nodes. Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as resource utilization, throughput, cost, response time, performance, and energy consumption can be improved with load balancing. In recent years, some researches in load balancing techniques in fog networks have been carried out, but there is no systematic review to consolidate these studies. This article reviews the load-balancing mechanisms systematically in fog computing in four classifications, including approximate, exact, fundamental, and hybrid methods (published between 2013 and August 2020). Also, this article investigates load balancing metrics with all advantages and disadvantages related to chosen load balancing mechanisms in fog networks. The evaluation techniques and tools applied for each reviewed study are explored as well. Additionally, the essential open challenges and future trends of these mechanisms are discussed.
This paper first presents a parallel solution for the Flowshop Scheduling Problem in parallel environment, and then proposes a novel load balancing strategy. The proposed Proportional Fairness Strategy (PFS) takes computational performance of computi
ng process sets into account, and assigns additional load to computing nodes proportionally to their evaluated performance. In order to efficiently utilize the power of parallel resource, we also discuss the data structure used in communications among computational nodes and design an optimized data transfer strategy. This data transfer strategy combined with the proposed load balancing strategy have been implemented and tested on a super computer consisted of 86 CPUs using MPI as the middleware. The results show that the proposed PFS achieves better performance in terms of computing time than the existing Adaptive Contracting Within Neighborhood Strategy. We also show that the combination of both the Proportional Fairness Strategy and the proposed data transferring strategy achieves additional 13~15% improvement in efficiency of parallelism.
We introduced the load-balanced routing algorithms, for interconnection networks resulting from nesting, by considering the pressure of the data forwarding in each node. Benchmarks on a small cluster with various network topologies, and simulations f
or several larger clusters whose prototypes are too costly to construct, demonstrated substantial gains of communication performance with our routing on these networks over other mainstream routing algorithms.
