Abstract
Modern services consist of modular, interconnected components, e.g., microservices forming a service mesh. To dynamically adjust to ever-changing service demands, service components have to be instantiated on nodes across the network. Incoming flows requesting a service then need to be routed through the deployed instances while considering node and link capacities. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize the successfully served flows and Quality of Service (QoS) through online service coordination. Current approaches for service coordination are usually centralized, assuming up-to-date global knowledge and making global decisions for all nodes in the network. Such global knowledge and centralized decisions are not realistic in practical large-scale networks. To solve this problem, we propose two algorithms for fully distributed service coordination. The proposed algorithms can be executed individually at each node in parallel and require only very limited global knowledge. We compare and evaluate both algorithms with a state-of-the-art centralized approach in extensive simulations on a large-scale, real-world network topology. Our results indicate that the two algorithms can compete with centralized approaches in terms of solution quality but require less global knowledge and are magnitudes faster (more than 100x).
