A Genetic Algorithm for Flow Scheduling in Data Center Networks
Bo Yang, Wei Peng, Xing Zhou · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2015
Traffic in today’s data center networks grows rapidly. Traditional routing and forwarding protocols in data center usually rely on static hashing, and may cause avoidable bottlenecks. We present a genetic algorithm to make better use of the resources. Our goal is to minimize the maximum single link utilization of the network. And results show that our algorithm performs better than a recent greedy algorithm.
