Network load balancers are central components in modern data centers, that
cooperatively distribute workloads of high arrival rates across application
servers, thereby contribute to offering scalable services. The independent and
"selfish" load balancing strategy is not necessarily the globally optimal one.
This paper represents the load balancing problem as a cooperative team-game
with limited observations over system states, and adopts multi-agent
reinforcement learning methods to make fair load balancing decisions without
inducing additional processing latency. On both a simulation and …
