Most of the time, asynchronous load balancing algorithms have extensively been

is certainly the most well known algorithm for which the convergence proof is
given. From a practical point of view, when a node wants to balance a part of
its load to some of its neighbors, the strategy is not described. In this

increase the converge of a load balancing algorithm, we propose a simple
heuristic called \texttt{virtual load} which allows a node that receives an load
-information message to integrate the load that it will receive latter in its

neighbors. In order to validate our approaches, we have defined a simulator
based on SimGrid which allowed us to conduct many experiments.

a special constraint avoiding \texttt{ping-pong} effect, an asynchronous
iterative algorithm converge to the uniform load distribution. This work has
