The load balancing strategy in the traditional network architecture system is limited to the limitations of the closed operating system of the network device and cannot effectively meet various communication environments. In SDN, a new network architecture with open programming, the load balancing system architecture of the SDN data center is designed. The traffic classification module is used to distinguish large and small flows. A load balancing mechanism based on the improved ant colony optimization is proposed for the forwarding of large flows. A weighted ECMP load balancing mechanism is used for the forwarding of small flows. The improved ant colony optimization considers the difference in link load status and optimizes the parameters of the ant colony optimization. Through experimental simulation and comparison with traditional load balancing algorithms ECMP and DLB algorithms, the advantages of the optimized ant colony optimization in terms of delay jitter, average link utilization and other indicators are verified.
