Abstract

The stability of load balancing in the routers is a major problem for traffic flow survivability. Arrangements usually utilize an Equal Cost Multi Path (ECMP) mechanism, which basically emphasizes the load balancing network by equally splitting flows to the accessible concise paths. Empirical research conducted by previous researchers has provided new proof of techniques and methods solutions for more efficient load balancing schemes. However, a survey that examines the practical recommendation has rarely been considered. The surveys on which previous papers have focused give an experimental confirmation for load balancing in a datacenter with regards to descriptive investigation to order to suggest a scheme of best practices. The investigation of load balancing in every telecommunication layer technology is the premise for this descriptive survey. The outline arrangement of the advance level path parallelism in a datacenter and redundancy of transmission to accomplish low Flow Completion Times (FCTs) are the goals of the researcher. More research is expected to assess the effect of packet distribution against FCT. The terms usually used are load balancing, survivability, ECMP, network congestion, link criticality, and link failure protection. Load balancing or ECMP mechanism that are not focused on alternate congestion scheme of the network were exempted from the review.
