Abstract. We investigate the following very simple load-balancing algorithm on the N-cycle (N even) which we call Odd-Even Transposition Balancing (OETB). The edges of the cycle ar...
— Internet service providers have to provision network resources to optimize bandwidth utilization. Dynamic routing protocols take traffic variations into account to control the...
Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) with order-preserving hash functions require load balancing to ensure an even item-load over all nodes. While previous item-balancing algorithms only...
— In DHT based P2P systems, various issues such as peer heterogeneity, network topology, and diverse file popularity, may affect the DHT system efficiency. In this paper, we pr...
