Abstract

Network load balancing (NLB) is an important element of construction and management of fault tolerance in communication networks. At present, there are a lot of balancing algorithms both for standard approaches to networking and for software defined networks (SDN). An asymmetric transport protocol having the property to use the method anycast for parallel coupling with several servers was developed. The general description of SDN, TCP, and the first asymmetric transport protocol Trickles, as well as one conducted experiment in a network simulator in comparison with Trickles with some implementations of TCP, is presented in the article. A new algorithm for operation of the asymmetric transport protocol based on the experimental results is suggested. Several variants of using the asymmetric transport protocols in terms of SDN are discussed.
