Abstract:
A load-balancing technique is proposed, executed, and tested against a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) implementation with well-known characteristics. This would prove that transparently inserting Software Defined Networking (SDN) to achieve load balancing without re-configuring the DTN portion is possible. In addition, two routes were taken to alleviate a DTN bottleneck threat. The first used a P4 networking switch. This manual load-balancing test will balance the incoming packets without the users at the end-points knowing that their original packet destinations and/or sources may have been changed. The second route utilized a High-rate Delay Tolerant Networking (HDTN) receiving node instead of the typical DTN implementation used. Bench-marking results of the DTN implementation receiving node and the HDTN receiving node will be compared.
