An Adaptive Load Balancing to Provide Quality of Service

Abstract

In order to utilize network resources and provide a more reliable delivery of information, multipath routing algorithms are used with a higher priority than single path routing. But providing the quality of service (QoS) requirements while load balancing is done among multiple paths is still a challenge. In this paper a new load balancing algorithm is proposed by using an explicit endpoint admission control (EEAC) to achieve a dynamic load balancing algorithm, with the ability to guarantee the end-to-end QoS for a variety of service classes. The simulation results for non deterministic network conditions show that the proposed algorithm increases the utilization of network resources and also decreases the end-to-end delay.
