A chord-based load balancing algorithm for P2P network
Ding Zhi-min, Qian Quan · 2014
To solve the load unbalancing problem in P2P network caused by different network node performance, different bandwidths and the uneven distribution of flow, we proposed an improved load balancing algorithm base on Chord, using a heuristic way to choose the successor node based on an overall consideration to load situation, delay time and route distance. Experiments show that under the circumstances of slight increase of route hops and delay time, this algorithm can reduce the load of hot nodes and realize the network flow equalization efficiently.
