Abstract: The traditional methods may cause network congestion and load imbalance when scheduling the elephant flows in data center networks. To deal with these isuses, this paper proposed scheme ACO-SDN, which is based on ACO (ant colony) algorithm in SDN(Software Defined Network) data center networks. It built an ILP(Integral Linear Programing)model according to the flow scheduling problem, with the object of minimize the maximum link utilization. Then, it employed ant colony algorithm to solve the ILP model through redefining its parameters and operations. The optimal route was obtained for of rerouting elephant flows. The experimental results show that, in comparisons with ECMP(Equal-Cost multi-path Routing) and GFF (Global First Fit) algorithms, ACO-SDN algorithm lowers down the maximum link utilization rate, and effectively improves the network bisection bandwidth of networks.
