The invention discloses a load balancing method and
system based on accurate congestion feedback in a
cloud data center. The load balancing method comprises two main aspects: an accurate source end flow balancing method and an accurate flow
rate control method. The source end flow balancing method is based on accurate end-to-end
delay monitoring, the congestion degree of a plurality of equivalentpaths among nodes in a
cloud data center can be obtained in time, and flow path distribution is carried out in a balanced manner, so that load balancing among the plurality of equivalent paths is ensured, and the link
bandwidth utilization rate is improved. The accurate flow
rate control method is based on congestion feedback marks, and congestion feedback which does not belong to the current state due to
path switching is eliminated, so that the accuracy of congestion feedback information is improved, and the stability of a data flow sending rate is ensured. According to the method, the accuracy of load balancing under the asymmetric network of the
data center is improved, a hardware switch does not need to be modified, and the method has the performance
advantage of competing with a customized hardware load balancing method.
