Akash B. Rathod, Pallavi Kulkarni . An AIMD Distributed Control Law for Load Balancing in Content Delivery Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 108, 18 ( December 2014), 5-8. DOI=10.5120/19009-0458
Content Delivery Networks (CDN) is the best for overcoming the inherited problems face by internet in modern days. The major idea at the basis of this technology is the delivery at edge points of the network, in proximity to the request areas, to advance the user's perceived performance while off-putting the overheads. Literature shows that in Content Delivery Network how this demanding problem of defining and implementing an effective law for load balancing is model. But this system has some drawback, like even if the queue length of server is low they redirect loads to another server to only balance the overall load. Due to this request processing overhead and delay increases. Algorithm model in paper can help to reduce this delay by putting one equilibrium point to request queue. In CDN, the source adjusts its rate using a modified Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) algorithm. AIMD has been demonstrated to be sufficient and essential of efficiency and fairness under certain general conditions.
