Abstract :
We compared several server algorithms and found that performance of server selection can be improved using QoS statistics (average of past weeks QoS values) and real time QoS probing. Specifically, a set of candidate servers are selected based on QoS statistics for a given time section of the day and day of the week. A target server is, then, selected among the pre-selected candidate servers based on real time QoS measurement using echoping
