RSS queueA Collaborative Approach to Stochastic Load Balancing With Networked Queues of Autonomous Service Clusters
White Paper In such systems, multiple server instances are installed for handling requests from client applications, and each request (or task) typically needs to stay in a queue before an available server is assigned to process it. [10 Jul 2008]
Supporting Differentiated Service Classes: Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
White Paper The other papers in this series provide technical discussions of a number of popular queue-scheduling disciplines, active queue memory-management systems, host Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) congestion-avoidance mechanisms, and other issues... [10 Jul 2008]
A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster
White Paper Total load on node is calculated using queue length which is measured as the total number of processes in queue. Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to... [10 Jul 2008]
The Effect of Time Delays on the Stability of Load Balancing Algorithms for Parallel Computations
White Paper The model is shown to be self consistent in that the queue lengths cannot go negative and the total number of tasks in all the queues and the network are conserved (i.e.load balancing can neither create nor lose tasks). [10 Jul 2008]
Analytic Modeling of Load Balancing Policies for Tasks With Heavy-Tailed Distributions
White Paper This paper emphasizes that this methodology allows for the exact quantification of the effect of the task sizes on queue build-up for the various servers, and consequently allows for the detection of the cause of load imbalances. [10 Jul 2008]
A Time Delay Model for Load Balancing With Processor Resource Constraints
White Paper The new model is shown to be self consistent in that the queue lengths cannot go negative and the total number of tasks in all the queues are conserved (i.e.load balancing can neither create nor lose tasks). [10 Jul 2008]
EquiLoad: A Load Balancing Policy for Clustered Web Servers
White Paper The results show that EquiLoad greatly outperforms random allocation, performs comparably or better than the Shortest Remaining Processing Time and Join Shortest Queue policies and maximizes cache hits at the back-end servers. [10 Jul 2008]
Rate Allocation Under Network End-to-End Quality-of-Service Requirements
White Paper This algorithm relies on a network utility maximization approach, and can be viewed as a generalization of TCP and queue management algorithms to handle end-to-end QoS. This paper addresses the problem of allocating transmission rates to a set of... [10 Jul 2008]
Flow-Through-Queue Based Power Management for Gigabit Ethernet Controller
White Paper The paper proposes a Flow-Through-Queue (FTQ) based power management method, which allows some of the tasks involved in processing the frame data to be offloaded. This paper presents a novel architectural mechanism and a power management structure... [08 Jul 2008]
Improving XCP to Achieve Max-Min Fair Bandwidth Allocation
White Paper The eXplicit Control Protocol (XCP) is a new and promising protocol that outperforms TCP in terms of efficiency, stability, queue size, and convergence speed. TCP is shown to be inefficient and instable in high speed and long latency networks. [08 Jul 2008]

Performance Evaluation of Switched Ethernet as Communication Media in Controller Networks
White Paper The use of queue management discipline shows a lot of possibilities for achieving requirements for different type of services. The paper presents a simulation scenario for performance evaluation of switched Ethernet as communication media in... [04 Jul 2008]
Supporting Differentiated Service Classes: Active Queue Memory Management
White Paper Active queue memory management supports congestion avoidance by allowing you to control the average length or depth of packet queues. This paper provides a technical overview of a number of queue memory management techniques: tail drop, random... [03 Jul 2008]
