Server load balancing.

Server load balancing technology has obtained much attention as much business proceeded towards e-commerce. The idea behind is to have set of clustered servers that share the load as against a single server to achieve better performance and throughput. In this problem in lieu of thesis, I propose and evaluate an implementation of a prototype scalable server. The prototype consists of a load-balanced cluster of hosts that collectively accept and service TCP connections. The host IP addresses are advertised using the Round Robin DNS technique, allowing any host to receive requests from any client. Once a client attempts to establish a TCP connection with one of the hosts, a decision is made as to whether or not the connection should be redirected to a different host namely, the host with the lowest number of established connections. This problem in lieu of thesis outlines the history of load balancing, various options available today and finally approach for implementing the prototype and the corresponding findings
