Instantaneous Offloading of Transient Web Server Load

چکیده
A modern web-hosting site is designed to handle load that is sometimes an order of magnitude greater than the average load. Such a site can be expensive and is underutilized most of the time. We describe a design and performance study of the web booster architecture, which reduces web server load during peak periods. A web booster, inserted between client and server, instantaneously decreases server processing costs for requests to static documents while keeping the processing on the origin server. Fast reaction to the load change and the fact that the booster does not hold resources during inactive periods allows a web booster to be time-shared among multiple web domains that physically reside on different servers. A web accelerator module on a web server interacts with the web booster. It uses network packet caching, optimizing the TCP protocol and offloading of computation to increase the rate at which a server can process client requests. This paper describes the web booster architecture and our implementation of the accelerator, which decreases the web server load by more than a factor of three.

Instantaneous Offloading of Web Server Load
by Vsevolod V. Panteleenko Traffic to a web server is unpredictable and very peaky. Such peaks can be up to ten times the average load. To avoid losing or alienating clients, web servers are overbuilt to handle the peak load. Consequently, there are huge investments in local infrastructure at web sites that are significantly underutilized except for infrequent peak periods. This dissertation de...
متن کاملTuning Browser-to-Browser Offloading for Heterogeneous Stream Processing Web Applications
Software that runs on the Cloud may be offloaded to clients to ease the computational effort on the server side, while clients may as well offload computations back to the cloud or to other clients if it becomes too taxing on their machines. In this paper we present how we autonomically deal with browser-to-browser operator offloading in Web Liquid Streams, a stream processing framework that le...
متن کاملInvestigation on Reliability Estimation of Loosely Coupled Software as a Service Execution Using Clustered and Non-Clustered Web Server
Evaluating the reliability of loosely coupled Software as a Service through the paradigm of a cluster-based and non-cluster-based web server is considered to be an important attribute for the service delivery and execution. We proposed a novel method for measuring the reliability of Software as a Service execution through load testing. The fault count of the model against the stresses of users ...
متن کاملHow to Load Test e-Commerce Applications
The load on a Web server depends on the behavior of users, both individually and in the aggregate. The behavior of the individual user includes abandoning a site that is too slow; this is both a vital result of site performance and a variable that affects the shape of the load on a site. The behavior of a population of users causes variance in the instantaneous load on a Web server, which stron...
متن کاملLoad 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...
