Abstract: Communication subnets are the main carrier of data communication networks and the overall transmission efficiency depends on the performance of the subnets. There exist some nodes in subnets that forward most of the traffic of a network which may be termed as critical nodes and until some precautions regarding the processing capacity, delay factor, packet discarding, etc. are not taken care of the performance of the subnets will not increase. This study proposes a technique to identify these critical nodes and develops a traffic re-scheduling mechanism that diverts some of data packets from over-used links to unused or less-used links of the critical nodes. A critical threshold is thus assumed that tells either the packets follow the normal routing decision or the diversion based on decision of the traffic equalizer. An example is given to illustrate the proposed traffic re-scheduling technique.
