An Admission Control and Load Balancing Mechanism for Web Cluster Systems

Due to the World Wide Web (WWW) has expanded speedily, the interaction between the user and the Web site is becoming persistently. Most proposed load control schemes developed based on the traditional Web site providing static files are not suitable for the Web site today.
The new generation of WWW provides more varied and secure services. The greater part of applications are belonging to the session-based service. In order to provide better quality of services for the users, Web cluster architecture becomes the popular solution for most Web sites. This architecture combines serveral servers to work together and deals satisfied with the exponential increasing in service on WWW.
In this paper, we proposed a session-based admission control and load balancing mechanism for Web cluster systems. The admission control scheme is used to prevent Web system from becoming overload by determining whether an establishment of TCP connection is admitted or not. The load balancing scheme assigns new sessions to the suitable back-end server and achieves good load balancing among back-end servers, which also increases the throughput of system. The simulation results demonstrate that our mechanism utilizes system resource efficiently and takes system utilization and percentage of completed session into account simultaneously. Therefore, our mechanism can ensure the sessions would not be aborted midway. To compare with others, our mechanism can attain higher throughput and maintain the request average delay time. Furthermore, whether the back-end servers are identical in capacity or not, their load always get good balance.
