Abstract

Server load balancing (SLB) technology as described by (T. Schroeder, et al. (2000)) has provided a fundamental cornerstone necessary to the success of the Internet. Global server load balancing (GSLB) as described in (E. Zegura, et al. (2000)), (J. Dilley, et al. (2002)) enhances application performance by allowing the client´s server selection to be based upon server performance, network performance and the approximate network location of the client and the server. To help enable this technology for the tactical environment we have created the server load balancing registration protocol.
