Abstract

Cloud computing is Internet - connected mode of supercomputing. In cloud computing all the resources are provided as service that causes high traffic on cloud. So an efficient traffic management mechanism is required for cloud environment. Hierarchical link sharing algorithms like HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) are suitable for cloud traffic management, because each class in HTB can borrow bandwidth from its parent. But the sequential HTB can afford only low speeds (0.5Gbps). For better performance, HTB can be parallelized to reduce concurrency in HTB key structure access. This parallel HTB could not only increase the processing rate, but also keep a well performance on stability. In this paper, we propose an adaptive bandwidth management mechanism based on parallelized version of HTB. This packet scheduler uses inference mechanism to identify the bandwidth requirement and allocate bandwidth dynamically. Finally, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme through extensive simulation studies.
