In this paper, we present the network load balancing to optimize the network interfaces that are present in the cluster. We know, everything belongs to internet now a days. With the increase in the popularity of the web, network traffic increases and need for fast access to the internet is also on demand. For smooth services, redundancy of the servers is required. As a result, load balancing has become a very critical job. A single server is not able handle all the traffic which results into a server crash. Network is divided into different paths on which the transmission of packets is done. They are distributed on all the interfaces simultaneously. We investigate the performance of per-packet load balancing in different servers. Simulation results reveal that it is always beneficial to use load balancing and backup of other servers are always present in case of any failure in network.

Abstract


In this paper, we present the network load balancing to optimize the network interfaces that are present in the cluster. We know, everything belongs to internet now a days. With the increase in the popularity of the web, network traffic increases and need for fast access to the internet is also on demand. For smooth services, redundancy of the servers is required. As a result, load balancing has become a very critical job. A single server is not able handle all the traffic which results into a server crash. Network is divided into different paths on which the transmission of packets is done. They are distributed on all the interfaces simultaneously. We investigate the performance of per-packet load balancing in different servers. Simulation results reveal that it is always beneficial to use load balancing and backup of other servers are always present in case of any failure in network.
