Title
RDMA Load Balancing via Data Partition
Abstract
With the development of data center networks, traditional TCP/IP cannot support the demand in data centers. Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology could improve the performance of DCN significantly because of high throughput and low latency. However, load balancing is a key issue in RDMA which has not been solved distribute. This paper will propose an algorithm to solve the load balance problem in RDMA on application layer without hardware changing. The main idea is to divide data to chunks and data chunks on multiple reachable paths for transmission. However, it is no trivial to find the optimal chunk size and the path number, some empirical values are found by varieties of experiments and tests. Moreover, the chunk allocation scheme also needs to consider the traffic condition in DCNs to find more free paths to transmit. We evaluate the algorithm in application layer with ns3 simulator. The experiment results show that with our algorithm the completion time can decrease 81.03% at most.
