Application of genetic algorithm to load balancing in networks with a homogeneous traffic flow
share
The concept of extended cloud requires efficient network infrastructure to support ecosystems reaching form the edge to the cloud(s). Standard approaches to network load balancing deliver static solutions that are insufficient for the extended clouds, where network loads change often. To address this issue, a genetic algorithm based load optimizer is proposed and implemented. Next, its performance is experimentally evaluated and it is shown that it outperforms other existing solutions.
