Abstract :
A protocol for dynamic load balancing in distributed systems on the CSMA/CD local area network is presented. Using the protocol, the workload is evenly distributed throughout the system when load-balancing activity is triggered, and effective load distribution is accomplished through transmission of load-balancing messages in a collision-free manner. Analytical and simulation results are presented to show the efficiency of the protocol
