Performance Enhancment in Content Centric Network Using Load Balancing

International Journal of Computer Science (IJCS) Published by SK Research Group of Companies (SKRGC)

Abstract

In Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) the challenging issue is defining and implementing an effective law for load balancing. In the proposed system an formal study of a CDN system is carried out through the exploitation of a fluid flow model characterization of the network of servers. It provides a lemma about the network queues equilibrium. The result is leveraged in order to devise a novel distributed and time-continuous algorithm for load balancing, which is also reformulated in a time-discrete version .The discrete formulation of the proposed balancing law is eventually discussed with the actual implementation in a real-world scenario. Finally, this is validated by the means of simulations.
