Today's data centres need efficient traffic management to improve resource utilisation in their networks. It helps to solve the load imbalance problem of each processor. This Letter presents a ‘dynamic hierarchical load balancing’ approach for higher traffic scalability. The method selects the most favourable host satisfying the multi‐dimensional resource constraints in terms of computing capability and its performance. The proposed method achieves significant traffic scalability improvement upto 66% over sequential and random virtual machine placement heuristics.
