Dear Wensong et al,
This year I'm doing my Honours year in B.Comp.Sci at Monash University
here in Melbourne, Australia.
I was stuck with a whole lot of boring topics to do a thesis on so I came
up with this:...
>From what I gather there are only the four (4) basic scheduling algorithms
used in LVS: RR, weighted-RR, least connection, and weighted-least
connection.
What I propose is to come up with some (light-weight) fuzzy-logic based
scheduling code for use in LVS. This would allow smarter load-balancing
and even prediction of eminent (future) load and traffic. It would
possibly even add a feature allowing the (primary?) load balancer to
activate additional load balancers before things get too busy AND possibly
activate additional real servers to handle the increasing load. (These
extra real servers could otherwise/normally be doing something else like
crunching SETI data. ;-) )
If you think that this is a interesting idea please let me know. Or if you
have any further information to add please let me know too.
Cheers all,
Sincerely,
Ben
