A new SNMP-based algorithm for network traffic balancing in virtual local area networks

Abstract

Virtual local area network (VLAN). s are being created for improve performance, easy to manage security and ensure address on local area networks. This paper introduces a new approach for load balancing on virtual local area networks. The method which is developed for this approach, is dynamically changing the clients ports VLAN membership according to VLAN's total traffic of the same security policy. The clients which have to register to security VLAN, can access their permission level source at all physically location of LAN, this is the flexibility of the method. The VLAN count which have to be on the LAN, can adjust parametrically or default constantly. In the algorithm which developed for this approach, the hosts belong to traffic on the network, ensures as much as possible equal or nearest distributes homogeneous on the VLAN's. In this way the VLAN's have same or nearest traffic value. A software has developed for testing functionality of this method which using SNMP protocol and reached to the aims by testing on the real network.
