Traffic-Based Load Balance for Scalable Network Emulation

Overview Load balance is critical to achieving scalability for large network emulation studies, which are of compelling interest for emerging Grid, Peer to Peer, and other distributed applications and middleware. Achieving load balance in emulation is difficult because of irregular network structure and unpredictable network traffic. This paper formulates load balance as a graph partitioning problem and applies classical graph partitioning algorithms to it. The primary challenge in this approach is how to extract useful information from the network emulation and present it to the graph partitioning algorithms in a way that reflects the load balance requirement in the original emulation problem.
