Abstract

Dynamic traffic engineering requires the operation of load balanced routing. Load sharing, however, implies a thus far neglected, currently hidden problem: insufficient path integrity. Since load balancing requires changing the routes of traffic in order to achieve proper load distribution, path changes of ongoing communications go hand in hand with dynamic traffic engineering. Frequent path changes will not only degrade the performance of current TCP based applications but they will also dramatically influence the grade of service experienced by future QoS critical applications. To overcome this problem, we present a two level hashing based mechanism for route pinning under load balancing. We analytically formalise the path integrity and convergence time achievable for our routing model, and use these formulas for dimensioning path integrity aware load balancing.
