Internet traffic engineering is much important for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) today, since it can be used to fully utilize already deployed network resources. For ISPs, the requirements for traffic engineering should be simple, easy to con figure, cost-effective and efficient. Based on these considerations, we propose an algorithm called Web First Adaptive Traffic Engineering (WFATE). Since World Wide Web (WWW) services dominate most of the total Internet traffic and WWW flows are not long-lived, we only apply load balancing to WWW traffic in the algorithm. It can be shown that the number of coexistent WWW flows at an ingress node is almost certainly below a bound, and thus a forward-per-flow mechanism without keeping track of the state of each flow is feasible. This mechanism can balance traffic load at fine granularity and therefore get better performance. Through simulations and performance comparison, it is shown that WFATE is quite efficient, which can improve the network throughput averagely by 26% under the "dense source" traffic pattern and 9% under the "sparse source" traffic pattern.
