Load balancing algorithm for a local video network

Abstract

Abstract Server grows as client increases. If single server hardware up scaling has reached the limit, then multiple servers become solution. For local server requirement, the aforementioned solution has been sufficient. Load balancer distributes tasks to participating servers through designated algorithm. This paper assesses some load balancer algorithms for local video on demand network through experimental network that is developed in the lab for further research. As socket programming implemented, the WW is outperformed other algorithm in term of delay, jitter, losses as well as group of picture (GoP) delay.
