Dynamic Load Balancing Strategies for a Distributed Computer System

A distributed system consists of independent workstations connected usually by a local area network. Due to the growing popularity of the Internet, data centers, network servers are anticipated to be the bottleneck in hosting network-based services, even though the network bandwidth continues to increase faster than the server capacity. It has been observed that network servers contribute to approximately 40 percent of the overall delay, and this delay is likely to grow with the increasing use of dynamic web contents. Network server provides an efficient way to distribute their work with the sub-servers which is also known as proxy servers. Allocating work to the sub-server based on their response time is the proposed Dynamic Load Balancing technique
