Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a method for leveling traffic load of communication links in a distributed management network with multiple controllers. Our study has modeled the distributed management network as a flow network and defined the ratio of flow to capacity in an edge as a load-factor. On that network, an unsplittable-flow edge-load-factor balancing (UELB) problem has been formulated for finding the flow and the corresponding path leveling the load-factor. This paper reformulates the UELB problem as a mixed integer programming problem, while a lower bound of the optimal solution is given by a linear programming relaxation and an approximation algorithm for the problem is designed with using LP rounding.
