An Efficient Flow Distribution Algorithm Based on Link Reliability in Distributed Networks

Introducing the efficient technology of flow distribution into ad hoc networks can balance the traffic load and improve the performance of networks. Most flow distribution algorithms only focus on the optimization of network routing and the control of congestion, while ignore the condition that low layer´s communication links will also affect network traffic flow. In this paper, we propose a new flow distribution algorithm, which achieves the optimal flow distribution of wireless network based on the link reliability through the mature iteration of flow distribution method in flow networks.
