This paper presents a load balancing method to improve network utilization when static routing algorithms are employed. Static routing algorithms can generally be reduced to a path assignment problem with the aim of minimizing a cost function: i.e., maximizing network revenues. Unfortunately the problem, when multiple constraints such as different QoS traffic classes are present, is computation...

Under the current Internet infrastructure, quality of service (QoS) in the delivery of continuous media (CM) is still relatively poor and inconsistent. In this paper we consider providing QoS through the exploitation of multiple paths existing in the network. Previous work has illustrated the advantages of this approach. Here we extend this work by considering a more expressive model for charac...

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of packet-based load balancing in data center networks (DCNs). Throughput and flow completion time are some of the main the metrics considered to evaluate the performance of the transport of flows over the presence of long flows in a DCN. Load balancing in a DCN may improve those metrics but it may also generate out-of-order packet forwarding. Therefor...

Multipath routing is a routing technique of leveraging multiple good paths instead of a single best path for routing .It can be effectively used for maximum utilization of network resources. In contrast to single path approach, multipath routing can better utilize network bandwidth and balance network traffic. It gives the node a choice of next hops for the same destination. There are two strat...

In IEEE 802.16 Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) routing, delay aware load balancing can be achieved by selecting the shortest path with low latency and network load. But network load and latency together are not considered in most of the existing routing metrics. Here, we propose a delay aware load balanced routing protocol for wireless mesh networks by designing a combined route metric. Initially,...

Multi-path is favorite alternative for sensor networks, as it provides an easy mechanism to distributetraffic, as well as considerate fault tolerance. In this paper, a new clustering based multi path routingprotocol namely ECRR (Energy efficient Cluster based Routing algorithm for improving Reliability) isproposed, which is a new routing algorithm and guarantees the achievement to required QoS ...

This paper’s contribution is a multi-path routing protocols that emphasize different aspects of multi-path routing. Multi-path protocols, which can provide larger bandwidth to the WMN. The network performance (end-to-end delay and packet loss ratio) compares favorably to the single-path DSR protocol, though as might be expected there is a trade-off against control packet overhead. In a WMN, the...

A flooding attack in wireless sensor networks is a type of threat that shortens the lifetimes of the sensor networks. Although flooding attack prevention techniques have been proposed, if a continuous flooding attack occurs, the sensor node energy is depleted during detection. In this paper, we use multi-path routing to solve this problem. In order to balance the load of the sensor node, energy...
