AbstractTo effectively manage the traffic distribution inside a network, traffic splitting is needed for load sharing over a set of equal-cost-multi-paths (ECMPs). In this paper, a new traffic splitting algorithm, called Table-based Hashing with Reassignments (THR), is proposed. Based on the load sharing statistics collected, THR selectively reassigns some active flows from the over-utilized paths to under-utilized paths. The reassignment process takes place in such a way that the packet out-of-order problem is less severe. Simulations show that THR provides close-to-optimal load balancing performance but suffers about 5% of packets arrived out-of-order. Although additional traffic monitoring function is needed by THR, we show that the extra complexity incurred is marginal. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
