Load Balancing 101: Nuts and Bolts

Load balancing technology is alive and well; in fact, it is the basis from which today's Application Deliver Controllers ADCs operate. But the pervasiveness of load balancing technology does not mean it is universally understood, nor is it typically discussed other than from a basic, network-centric viewpoint. In a more...

Arbutus: Network-Layer Load Balancing for Wireless Sensor Networks

The hot spot problem is a typical byproduct of the many-to-one traffic pattern that characterizes most wireless sensor networks: the nodes with the best channel to the sink are overloaded with traffic from the rest of the network and experience a faster energy depletion rate than their peers. Routing protocols...

White Paper for Load Balancing

Load balancing allows incoming HTTP requests to a company's website to be distributed across several physical servers. If one server should fail, other servers can pick up the workload. Load balancing can be performed using application software. However, Bulwark Systems' dedicated switch can perform this function much faster as the...

Robust Load Balancing in Wireless Networks

This paper studies load balancing in a wireless network. It presents a robust approach that enables cross-layer optimization of both transmission schedule and routing without the knowledge of traffic matrix. This approach is shown to clearly outperform an approach where only the MAC layer is optimized. Further, the paper shows...

How Does Unequal Cost Path Load Balancing (Variance) Work in IGRP and EIGRP?

In general, load balancing is the capability of a router to distribute traffic over all the router network ports that are the same distance from the destination address. Load balancing increases the utilization of network segments, and so increases effective network bandwidth. There are two types of load balancing: equal...

Adaptive Load Balancing With OSPF

The objective of load balancing is to move traffic from congested links to other parts of the network. If the traffic demands are known, the load balancing can be formulated as an optimization problem. The resulting traffic allocation can be realized in the networks that use explicit routes, such as...
