Abstract

Data center placement in a network plays a vital role for different online applications like VoIP, cloud computing, etc. However, disasters can affect their functionality leading to huge disruption in service. Not only this, network load balancing is another major concern nowadays, the improper management of which can hamper the network throughput and quality of service. In this paper, a new routing, spectrum and core allocation (RSCA) heuristic has been developed to balance the network load by imposing labels to the data centers based on their usage in dynamic space division multiplexing-based elastic optical network (SDM-EON). In this context, two data center selection strategies are introduced which are tested and analysed on two well- known topologies against different parameters, proving their efficacy over each other.
