文摘

The response time is the most important factor determining user experiences in the service provision model involving server clusters. However, traditional server cluster load balancing scheme are limited by the hardware conditions, and cannot completely exploit the server response times for load balancing. In order to effectively resolve the traditional load balancing schemes, we propose a load balancing scheme based on server response times by using the advantage of SDN flexibility, named LBBSRT. Using the real-time response time of each server measured by the controller for load balancing, we process user requests by obtaining an evenly balanced server loads. Simulation experiments show that our scheme exhibits a better load balancing effect and process requests with a minimum average server response times. In addition, our scheme is easy to implement, and exhibits good scalability and low cost characteristics.
