Abstract

The burst traffic is one of the most important reasons that cause congestion in the data centers. One way to reduce network congestion is to reroute elephant flows on new paths. Most of the current researches focus on the scheme of detecting elephant flows and a few such as Offline Increasing First Fit (OIFF) considers the routing algorithm, which chooses the path with the max remaining bandwidth when scheduling elephant flows. OIFF may relieve the network congestion, but it may also put several elephant flows on the same links which results in new congestions. In this paper, we present Max Probability Fit Algorithm (MPF), a new routing methodology which is based on multinomial logit model (MNL). MPF chooses the rerouting path for each flow with probability, and it’s less likely to distribute the traffic to the same links. The experiment shows that MPF can increase performance of throughput by 3.6% and bring down packet loss rate by 26.84% over OIFF.
