    Asymptotics of Insensitive Load Balancing and Blocking Phases
    Résumé : Load balancing with various type of load information has become a key component of modern communication and information systems. In many systems, characterizing precisely the blocking probability allows to establish a performance tradeoff between delay and losses. We address here the problem of giving robust performance bounds based on the study of the asymptotic behavior of the so-called insensitive load balancing schemes when the number of servers and the load scales jointly. These schemes have the desirable property that the stationary distribution of the resulting stochastic network depends on the distribution of job sizes only through its mean. It was shown that they give good estimates of performance indicators for systems with finite buffers, generalizing henceforth Erlang’s formula whereas optimal policies are already theoretically and computationally out of reach for networks of moderate size. We study the case of a single class of traffic acting on a set of processor sharing or symmetric queues with finite buffers, with load scaling with the number of servers. We characterize, using law of large numbers, central limit theorems and large deviations, the response of symmetric systems under those schemes. In particular, we show that there is a phase transition for the blocking probability. Before a critical load, the blocking is exponentially small in the number of the servers and becomes of the order of the inverse of the square root beyond this critical load. This generalizes the well-known Jagerman-Halfin-Whitt regime for a one-dimensional queue, and gives a generalized staffing rule for a given target blocking probability.
