The Impact over the Packets Sequence at the Output Interface in Load Balancing Strategies

Abstract

Load balancing is a key mechanism in traffic engineering. The strategy of considering multipath with load balancing enhances the network throughput. The use of effective preordering packets functions optimizes the network utilization and reduces packet disordering and imbalance. This paper studies the impact of packet preordering in multipath MPLS networks, and the traffic partitioning to implement a flow splitting issued from an optimized model. Some experimental results from an optimized network are presented
