Selective Randomized Load Balancing and Mesh Networks With Changing Demands
Overview This paper considers the problem of building cost-effective networks which are robust to dynamic changes in demand patterns. The paper compares several architectures based on using demand-oblivious routing strategies. Traditional approaches include single-hop architectures based on a (static or dynamic) circuit-switched core infrastructure, and multi-hop (packet-switched) architectures based on point-to-point circuits in the core. To address demand uncertainty, the authors seek minimum cost networks that can carry the class of hose demand matrices. Apart from shortest-path routing, Valiant's Randomized Load Balancing (RLB), and VPN tree routing, the paper proposes a third, highly attractive approach: Selective Randomized Load Balancing (SRLB).
