Paper Abstract:
|
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. |
