Throughput and burst efficient load balancing algorithms for dynamic networks

Abstract

The extensive growth of the World Wide Web WWW has increased the request rate of the servers in the distributed environment These requests are distributed to the servers for processing This ever increasing request for web services leads to more load on the servers The request distribution policy used determines the amount of workload assigned to a particular server leading to different workloads on the servers This differences in workload between servers often leads to overloading of server which influences the overall performance and utilization of the system In order to achieve optimal system performance and better utilization of the resources the mechanism of load balancing can be used which tries to minimize these workload differences Thus load balancing is an efficient way of distributing the load across servers In this research work three methods have been proposed for load balancing the system The first method namely Load Distribution with Fixing input dynamically to the server using Mobile Agent LDFM is proposed to enhance system throughput in the centralized client server model
