A modified round-robin load-balancing algorithm for cluster-based web servers

As dynamic contents are changing traditional web environment, there is an increasing demand on high performance web servers, which leads to the use of cluster-based web servers. As a result, utilization of cluster web servers through effective and fair load-balancing is a crucial task specifically when it comes to advent of dynamic contents and database-driven applications on the internet such as e-commerce and corporate database. In this paper, a new method is proposed to address the load-balancing problems. The discussed method is compared with the common Round-robin algorithm. Simulation results are given to validate the given Round-robin algorithm.
