Modified load balancing algorithm for partially-overlapping data transmission routes

In this paper we propose a modified load balancing algorithm, which can be used to optimize network load and reduce data transmission delay. This algorithm is aimed at load balancing between partially-overlappung data transmission routes. It is based on a modified ECMP algorithm with correction of the load on the network and taking into account the length of possible paths. This algorithm is optimal for centralized network management, and therefore its use in SDN networks is proposed. Testing of this development is carried out for comparison with the existing solution and the advantages of this modification are presented.
