Abstract
In order to maintain load balancing in distributed systems in a decentralized manner, every node should obtain workload information from all the nodes on the network. It requires $Ο({v^2})$ traffic overheads, where v is the number of nodes. This paper presents a new synchronous dynamic distributed load balancing algorithm for a ( v,k+1,1)-configured network topology, which is a kind of 2k regular graph, based on symmetric balanced incomplete block design, where v equals ${k^2}+k+1$. Our algorithm needs only Ο(v√v) message overheads and each node receives workload information from all the nodes without redundancy. And load balancing in this algorithm is maintained so that every link has same amount of traffic by √v for transferring workload information.
