Abstract
Load balancing is the most crucial in order to develop the network applications. It optimizes the network interfaces that are present in the cluster. We know, everything belongs to internet these days. Various Servers are connected together with different IP addresses to form a network, to run many applications that are used by the users in daily life. With the increase in the popularity of the web, network traffic increases and need for fast access to the internet is on demand. For smooth services, redundancy of the servers is also required. A single server is not able handle all the traffic which results into a server crash. In this, Network is divided into different paths through which the transmission of packets is done. They are distributed on all the interfaces simultaneously. The network is always available without any delay, by detecting host failures and automatically redistributing the network traffic to other working servers. The performance of per-packet load balancing on different servers is investigated. Simulation results reveal that it is always beneficial to use load balancing and backup of other servers are always present in case of any failure in network.
