Priority differentiated multicast flow scheduling method in Ceph cloud storage network by Wenlong KE, Yong WANG, Miao YE, Junqi CHEN

“…In order to solve the problem that existing flow scheduling method is difficult to meet the different multicast scheduling requirements of multi-service flows in the Ceph cloud storage network,a service priority-based multicast flow scheduling method was tailored.First,the network status was obtained via software defined network (SDN) to support flow scheduling.Then,a multicast task was decomposed into multiple attribute decision problems for multiple unicast path selection,and a method of unicast path selection based on technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was proposed.The unicast path selection method was used to find the optimal unicast path set for the service flow based on the flow’s network performance requirements.Then,the multicast distribution node was determined by the maximum common sub-path among the optimal unicast path sets for construct a multicast transmission path.The experiment results show that the proposed method can reduce the transmission delay of high priority flows while reduce the redundant traffic and better balance the traffic loads compared with the existing methods.…”
