Developing parallel load balancing model on open source operating systems

vDEVELOPING PARALLEL LOAD BALANCING MODEL ON OPENSOURCE OPERATING SYSTEMS(Ph.D. Thesis)Devrim SERALGAZI UNIVERSITYINSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYDecember 2006ABSTRACTNowadays, consistent grows of Internet traffic workloads effects the serverperformance. In this study, a new model represented for parallel load balancersystems which share/balance/reduce Internet traffic loads on server systems.This model uses reference locality principle for network traffic. For proposedmodel, a simulation application have developed and real traffic trace drivensimulations have made. Simulation results showed that, proposed model balanceInternet traffic workloads better than mathematical modulus method.Science Code : 702.3.006Keywords : Load balancing, parallel load balancing, referencelocality, network load balancer, open source codePage Number : 89Thesis Advisor : Prof. Dr. nan GÜLER
