Optimal Routing of IP Packets to Multi-Homed Servers†

چکیده

Multi-homing, or direct attachment to multiple networks, offers both performance and availability benefits for important servers on busy networks. Exploiting these benefits to their fullest requires a modicum of routing knowledge in the clients. Careful policy control must also be reflected in the routing used within the network to make best use of specialized and often scarce resources. While relatively straightforward in theory, this problem becomes much more difficult to solve in a real network containing often intractable implementations from a variety of vendors. This paper presents an analysis of the problem and proposes a useful solution for a typical campus network. Application of this solution at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is studied and the problems and pitfalls encountered are discussed, as are the workarounds used to make the system work in the real world.

Multicast computer network routing using genetic algorithm and ant colony

Due to the growth and development of computer networks, the importance of the routing topic has been increased. The importance of the use of multicast networks is not negligible nowadays. Many of multimedia programs need to use a communication link to send a packet from a sender to several receivers. To support such programs, there is a need to make an optimal multicast tree to indicate the opt...

A fault tolerance routing protocol considering defined reliability and energy consumption in wireless sensor networks

In wireless sensor networks, optimal consumptionof energy and having maximum life time are important factors. In this article attempt has been made to send the data packets with particular reliability from the beginning based on AODV protocol. In this way two new fields add to the routing packets and during routing and discovering of new routes, the lowest remained energy of nodes and route tra...

Advanced operations research techniques for multi-constraint QoS routing in internet

Internet Traffic has grown exponentially over last few years due to provision of multiple class services through Internet backbone. With the explosive use of Internet, contemporary Internet routers are susceptible to overloads and their services deteriorate drastically and often cause denial of services. In this paper, an analysis is made how forecasting technique, routing algorithm and Genetic...

An Analysis of Anycast Architecture and Transport Layer Problems

The Internet Protocol anycasting communication service has been designed to support service locating to the nearest anycast server based on routing protocol measure of distance for anycast service from a pool of identical service servers. The birth of IPv6 has given opportunity to design and implement anycast service at IP layer, which could not be implemented in IPv4 due to addressing complexi...

Scaling Internet Services by Dynamic Allocation of Connections

Network Dispatcher (ND) is a software tool that \routes" TCP connections to multiple TCP servers that share their workload. It exports a set of virtual IP addresses that are concealed and shared by the servers. It implements a novel dynamic load-sharing algorithm for allocation of TCP connections among servers according to their real-time load and responsiveness. ND forwards packets to the serv...
