Load Balancing Solution and Evaluation of F5 Content Switch Equipment
نویسنده
چکیده
The Thesis focused on hardware based Load balancing solution of web traffic through a load balancer F5 content switch. In this project, the implemented scenario for distributing HTTPtraffic load is based on different CPU usages (processing speed) of multiple member servers. Two widely used load balancing algorithms Round Robin (RR) and Ratio model (weighted Round Robin) are implemented through F5 load balancer. For evaluating the performance of F5 content switch, some experimental tests has been taken on implemented scenarios using RR and Ratio model load balancing algorithms. The performance is examined in terms of throughput (bits/sec) and Response time of member servers in a load balancing pool. From these experiments we have observed that Ratio Model load balancing algorithm is most suitable in the environment of load balancing servers with different CPU usages as it allows assigning the weight according to CPU usage both in static and dynamic load balancing of servers.

A comparison of two heuristic approaches for distribution feeder
In this paper, a comprehensive comparison of two distinct heuristic search approaches to solve the distribution switchin9 problem is presented. One approach is' based on a priority list of switches of the main search path defined by the feeder tie switch upstream to the substation. The other approach uses evaluation functions to address the problem. Evaluation functions are defined based on fee...
متن کاملOpenFlow-Based Dynamic Server Cluster Load Balancing with Measurement Support
—In the current cloud computing environment, the size of the server cluster in the data center is growing in response to the increasing traffic. Due to the use of multiple replicas in the server cluster to provide the same services, effective load balancing as a key technology is very important. In this paper we implement and evaluate an alternative loadbalancing architecture using OpenFlow sw...

متن کاملDesign and implementation of a Layer-7 MPLS-based Web Switching Architecture
During recent years web servers evolved from providing simple, static content to offering different services and a variety of dynamically generated pages and objects. Consequently, scalability and load-balancing have emerged as main requirements for modern web farms. A common solution is based on placing a Web Switch in front of the web servers; the switch acts as a dispatcher that redirects us...
متن کاملDynamic Load Balancing in Distributed Content-Based Publish/Subscribe
Distributed content-based publish/subscribe systems to date suffer from performance degradation and poor scalability caused by uneven load distributions typical in real-world applications. The reason for this shortcoming is due to the lack of a load balancing solution, which have rarely been studied in the context of publish/subscribe. This paper proposes a load balancing solution specific to d...
