<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To distribute a link load between specific nodes when it is centralized in a multiprocessor. <P>SOLUTION: The method for managing packet traffic in a data processing network includes collecting data indicative of the amount of packet traffic traversing each of the links in the interconnecting part of a network. The collected data include source and destination information indicative of the source and destination of corresponding packets. A heavily used link is then identified from the collected data. Packet data associated with the heavily used link are then analyzed to identify a packet source and packet destination combination that is a significant contributor to the packet traffic on the heavily used link. In response, a process associated with the identified packet source and packet destination combination is migrated, for example, to another node of the network, to reduce the traffic on the heavily used link. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
