Influence of Load Balancing on Quality of Real Time Data Transmission

Abstract

The routing algorithm with load balancing presented in [1] represents the modification of OSPF protocol, which enables the optimization to achieve higher network throughput. In the case of routing with load balancing, packets belonging to the same stream use different paths in the network. This paper analyzes the influence of the difference in packet propagation times on the quality of real-time data transmission. The proposed algorithm was implemented and the simulation network was formed to measure the jitter.
