Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Real-world IP networks are heterogeneous in terms of server and link capacities. A sophisticated and comprehensive load balancing method is essential if we are to avoid congestion in the servers and links of heterogeneous networks. This paper proposes an anycast technique that achieves load balancing under heterogeneity. The proposed method is well suited to implementation on active networks. By taking advantage of the processing ability provided at active nodes, the method can decide packet routes flexibly on the basis of various criteria to realize a variety of load balancing schemes. Some of these schemes can successfully prevent the congestion of heterogeneous networks by tackling bottlenecks in both server and link capacities. The method is also advantageous for the light control load. The effectiveness of these features is confirmed through computer simulation.
