Abstract

The rapid development of CPU technology, storage technology and bandwidth improvement have given rise to a strong research interest in cloud computing technology. As a basic infrastructure component of cloud computing, data center becomes more and more important. Based on the analysis of transmission efficiency, a novel hierarchical flow multipath forward (HFMF) algorithm is proposed. HFMF can use adaptive flow-splitting schemes according to the corresponding level in the three-tier fat-tree topology. NS2 simulations prove that HFMF reduces the packet disorder arrival and achieves a better performance of load balancing in the data center.
