Abstract

The network load balancer acts as a reverse proxy and reroutes the traffic across a cluster of instances of the application service. The proposed integrated algorithm with a novelty of load sharing approach disperses the oncoming requests such that an optimal server ends up fulfilling the request. Along with that, the load balancer has a number of other utility functions that enable it to work similarly in a dynamic Web application. This proposed algorithm is evaluated with the horizontally-scaled architecture on the basis of latency and throughput as recommended in the RFC 2544 for evaluation on a LAN network. Through this research work, it was found that the ability of this integrated load balancing algorithm was successful in reducing the load for a set of four particular use-cases based upon reducing the response time while simultaneously maintaining all the characteristics of a distributed system.
