Load Balancing White Papers
Experiences in Building a Multihoming Load Balancing System
Overview The growing popularity of consumer broadband connection technology, in particular cableTV and ADSL, has started a quiet revolution that will reshape the Internet connectivity solutions for commercial enterprises. One emerging theme is the replacement of dedicated lines based on frame relay or ISDN technologies with multiple inexpensive ADSL/cableTV links each of which potentially is subscribed from a different ISP. The key enabling technology for this revolution is multihoming load balancing, which spreads an enterprise's Internet traffic among multiple access links to increase the aggregate throughput, and diverts traffic away from non-functional links when they fail. Although there exist several commercial multihoming load balancing products in the marketplace, very little is published about the design tradeoffs and their performance implications.
