Research on cluster and load balance based on linux virtual server

Abstract

The bandwidth of network has been more developed than the speed of processor and EMS memory accessing in view of the development of network technology. More and more bottlenecks appear on the server. The proliferation of Internet portfolio and specialization of network application make load balance to be instant demand. The best way to solve this problem is the technique of network cluster and load balance based on Linux Virtual Server. This paper discusses the work principle and Server/Client way of Linux Virtual Server, which provides a transparent way to extend network throughput and strengthen data process ability and improve network agility and usability. Linux Virtual Server could realize load balance conveniently and effectively by operation distributing to cluster real server according to the connection of transmission lever. This paper also describes load balance and balance strategy of LVS to make cluster technology according with the application demands in detail. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
