Abstract

Data center network (DCN) consists of server-farms and provides various services, which includes software, storage and applications. DCN uses software-defined networking (SDN) to centralize control for enhancing performance, scalability and security in servers. Load balancing in DCN server is significant and efficient management of resources improves network performance. In this paper, logistic regression based load balancing (LLB) algorithm is proposed for Energy-aware task scheduling, routing and server load balancing of SDN based DCN, which minimizes packet loss, delay, energy efficiency, operational cost maximizes throughput, optimizes load balance during heavy and frequent messages. The proposed LLB algorithm addresses the dynamic nature of DCN in terms of span and size of message flows. LLB algorithm dynamically selects optimal server for routing based on energy consumptions of server. LLB proposes routing strategy and finds optimal routing path based on Logistic Regression analysis with considering the utility function of DCN servers and bandwidth utilization of the network. The proposed algorithm is based on Logistic regression analysis, reduces the energy consumption by 4.7–18% and improves the server utilization by 86%, in comparison to heuristic algorithms, because of stochastic gradient decent weights calculation.
