Abstract

Social networks and other clouding applications should require fast responses from datacenter. In-memory key-value storage(IMKVS) is one of the techniques to achieve such requirement, and it is a caching mechanisms for improving overall user experience. Commonly, IMKVS systems use consistent hashing(CH) to decide where to store an object, which may cause network load imbalance due to its simplistic approach. In order to improve IMKVS performance, this paper proposed a distributed network load balancing strategy using IMKVS and NFV in software defined networks. The strategy consisted of two phases. In the first phase, it designed a generic SDN load balancer module to run different load balancing algorithms. The second phase was a specialized caching based on IMKVS to be enabled communication management and data replication. Simulation results show there is an improvement of 24% on the load of the caching servers and 7% on the load of the network compared to consistent hashing, which results in better resource usage and better user experience.
