Abstract(in English) The objective of traffic engineering (TE) is to optimize network resources, while satisfying traffic oriented performance requirements. As a technology for TE, we focus on a way to balance the traffic load in order to avoid congestion on some links in a network. In this report, we propose some flow allocation algorithms for TE in an ISP backbone network. Given a traffic matrix representing users' traffic demands, we attempt to allocate the traffic flows of the demands in order to balance the traffic load in the network. We here employ the maximum link utilization as an objective function, and attempt to allocate the traffic flows in order to minimize the maximum link utilization. In the report, we evaluate the effect of the proposed algorithms on the load balancing over the network. Furthermore, we compare the performance of the proposed flow allocation algorithms.
