Abstract: Hash collisions and redirection of loads are major limitations for recent Hash IP algorithms. To overcome this, we propose a new Hash IP algorithm dubbed HDW in network load balancing (NLB) to increase network’s efficiency, availability and scalability. We achieve the new Hash IP load balancing algorithm via a constructive merger with weighted scheduler (WS) technique and dynamic switching of routing path (DSP). This helps to reduce delays, jitters and additionally assures some level of security owing to the hashing process. Our findings after comprehensive simulations and performance evaluation depicts that our proposed HDW algorithm is relatively efficient as against other related load balancing algorithms for software defined network.
