Reducing load distribution overhead with message aggregation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current best effort approach to Quality of Service in the Internet can no longer satisfy a diverse variety of customer service requirements, because of which there is a need for alternative strategies. A promising approach for dealing with this problem is a method called Load Distribution Scheme (LDS) which dynamically adjusts traffic load at the network boundary based on feedback from the network. In order to fairly share available resources among individual flows, the load distribution scheme relies on a message exchange protocol which in certain cases may cause significant overhead in the system. In this paper, we examine the issues related to the problem of the message overhead in the LDS, propose solutions to the problem, and evaluate these solutions through simulation in OPNET.

Architectural Considerations for Mapping Distribution Protocols
In this contribution, we present a discussion of some architectural ideas pertaining to the mapping distribution protocol. The efficiency of this protocol in terms of response time and the volume of traffic load it generates are important considerations. We consider how Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) can perform aggregation of end point ID (EID) address space belonging to their downstream deliver...

Abstract- Efficient message delivery in city environment is required to ensure driver’s safety and passenger’s comfortability. In cities of developed nations, routing of data in vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) faces many challenges such as radio obstacles, mobility constraints and uneven nodes distribution. These factors primarily makes communication between vehicles complex. To overcome and t...

In this paper, load balancing mechanisms in a parallel algorithm of vascular network development are investigated. The main attention is focused on the perfusion process (connection of new cells to vascular trees) as it is the most time demanding part of the vascular algorithm. We propose several techniques that aim at balancing load among processors, decreasing their idle time and reducing the...
متن کاملTopological Message Aggregation Techniques for Large - Scale Parallel Systems
High overhead of fine-grained communication is a significant performance bottleneck for many classes of applications written for large scale parallel systems. This thesis explores techniques for reducing this overhead through topological aggregation, in which fine-grained messages are dynamically combined not just at each source of communication, but also at intermediate points between source a...
متن کاملEfficient Flooding in Ad hoc Networks using On-Demand (Passive) Cluster Formation
Many ad hoc network protocols (e.g., routing, service discovery, etc.) use flooding as the basic mechanism to propagate control messages. In flooding, a node transmits a message to all of its neighbors. The neighbors in turn transmit to their neighbors and so on until the message has been propagated to the entire network. Typically, only a subset of the neighbors is required to forward the mess...
