Study of Server Load Balancing Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the critical scheduling problems in distributed computing environment is load balancing on a cluster of replicated servers which face a constant pressure of increased network traffic and diverse load levels. The key issue in server load balancing in a DCS is to select an effective load balancing scheme to distribute clients’ requests to the servers. In this paper, we have investigated the problem of server load balancing and evaluated various server load balancing policies. We have also conducted simulation study to compare the performance of various policies. Keywords-server load balancing, admission control, stateful servers, weighted round robin, shortest queue, diffusive algorithm

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 کاملA Comparative Study of Different Load Balancing Techniques for Heterogeneous Nodes
Conventional load balancing schemes are efficient at increasing the utilization of CPU, memory, and disk I/O resources in a Distributed environment. Most of the existing load-balancing schemes ignore network proximity and heterogeneity of nodes. Load balancing becomes more challenging as load variation is very large and the load on each server may change dramatically over time, by the time when...
متن کاملComparative Study on Load Balancing Techniques in Distributed Systems
Scalability becomes the basic need for distributed systems. With the increase of users, load on application servers also keep increasing. This requires a critical action to balance the load on servers. Load balancing is the concept of balancing load on servers using various load balancing techniques. In this paper we discuss various load-balancing techniques that are currently available. We dis...
متن کاملA Short Survey of Key Distribution Techniques for Namespace Load Balancing
Abstract: With the enormous growth of volume of data, Namespace distribution and replication are becoming a major challenge as Namenode server needs to coordinate with data nodes for its status, job execution and data blocks operations. Usage of Namespace will resolve the issue of namenode single point of failure and namespace scalability. This paper discusses the key distribution techniques fo...
متن کاملScheduling Algorithms in Web Servers Clusters
Abstract—Scheduling of jobs in web cluster of servers is a major research activity in Distributed Computing System (DCS). A key issue in server load balancing in a DCS is to select an effective load balancing scheme to distribute clients’ requests to the servers. This paper considers weighted round robin, shortest queue and diffusive load balancing policies. Performance of each of these policie...
