PEGASUS: Competitive Load Balancing Using Inetd

Tags:
load balancing

Overview As it is proven by practice, load balancing techniques are the only tools that network service provider have, in order to support and handle scalable network load. This paper presents PEGASUS, a novel framework that provides load balancing in network services transparently, using a competitive scheduling algorithm. PEGASUS is designed upon the INETD superserver, thus providing a easy to configure, yet efficient infrastructure. This paper provides an overview of the current frameworks and popular implementations both open source and commercial. Then it describes the system architecture and the basic axioms that it is designed. The paper concludes with a benchmarking experiment of the prototype implementation, in comparison with other popular load balancing frameworks.
