A Testbed for Performance Evaluation of Load Balancing Schemes for Web Server Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
To improve the response time of a web server, an obvious approach is to have multiple servers. Effectiveness of a replicated web server system will depend on how the incoming requests are distributed among these replicas. A large number of load balancing schemes for web server systems have been proposed in the literature. In this paper we describe a test-bed that can be used to evaluate the performance of different load balancing schemes. The test-bed uses a general architecture that allows different load balancing schemes to be supported easily. It emulates a typical World Wide Web scenario and allows variable load generation and performance measurement. We have performed experiments to compare the performance of a few schemes for load balancing using this test-bed.

Load Balancing Approaches for Web Servers: A Survey of Recent Trends
Numerous works has been done for load balancing of web servers in grid environment. Reason behinds popularity of grid environment is to allow accessing distributed resources which are located at remote locations. For effective utilization, load must be balanced among all resources. Importance of load balancing is discussed by distinguishing the system between without load balancing and with loa...
متن کاملScalable load balancing on distributed web servers using mobile agents
Distributed web servers on the immensely expanding Internet require high scalability and availability to provide efficient services to millions of clients on the web. To provide rapid responses to enormous number of client requests, load balancing is an important technique to evenly distribute the requests to web servers. In this paper, we propose a framework called MALD (Mobile Agent based Loa...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of Dynamic Load Balancing Schemes under a Fine-grain Multithreaded Execution Model
The evolution of computer systems based on fine-grain multithreaded program execution models introduces both unique opportunities and tough challenges for the support of dynamic load balancing. Although load balancing is an active research topic in the distributed computing field, there is still a lack of a detailed study of the different dynamic load balancing strategies under a fine-grain mul...
متن کاملComparison of Load Balancing Strategies on Cluster-based Web Servers
This paper focuses on an experimental analysis of the performance and scalability of cluster-based web servers. We carry out the comparative studies using two experimental platforms, namely, a hardware testbed consisting of 16 PCs, and a trace-driven discrete-event simulator. Dispatcher and web server service times used in the simulator are determined by carrying out a set of experiments on the...
