Abstract :
The common method to solve performance bottleneck problems of network service nodes is to take use of server cluster systems. At present, the schema which uses centralized load balancer to do management of system load is dominant. But the load balancer used may become a bottleneck of the system. This paper first analyzes and compares the existing load balancing technologies, and then proposes the Ethernet-broadcasting-based distributed load balancing technology.
