초록

인터넷의 급속한 성장과 더불어 인기 있는 웹 사이트는 우수한 성능의 단일 서버 또는 미러(mirror) 사이트에만 의존 할 수 없을 정도로 인터넷 사용이 급증하였다. 이러한 인터넷 사용과 사용자의 급증은 과중한 전송량과 시스템의 부하문제를 야기 시켰으며 이를 해결하기 위한 여러 방안으로 클러스터 시스템이 연구되어지고 있다. 특히 클러스터의 모든 컴퓨터 성능을 최대한 발휘하기 위해서는 클라이언트의 요구를 적절히 분산시키는 스케줄링 방법이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 웹 서버 클러스터에서 서비스 지연을 감소시키기 위해 클러스터내의 웹 서버들이 각각 서로 다른 내용을 가지는 기법을 제안한다. 이는 부하 분배기의 알고리즘을 구현하는데 있어 오버헤드를 줄이고 응답시간을 감소화 하는데 있다. 또한 부하 분배기로부터 요청을 받은 웹 서버는 부하 분배기를 거치지 않고 바로 클라이언트에게 응답을 보낸다. 성능 측정을 통해 기존의 다른 방식보다 제한한 기법이 보다 우수함을 보이고, 응답시간에서도 기존의 RR(Round Robin)과 LC(Least Connection) 방식보다 제안한 웹 서버 클러스터 기법이 각각 16%, 14% 짧다는 것을 보인다.

With the rapid growth of the Internet, popular Web sites are visited so frequently that these cannot be constructed with a single server or mirror site of high performance. The rapid increase of Internet uses and uses raised the problems of overweighted transmission traffic and difficult load balancing. To solve these, various schemes of server clustering have been surveyed. Especially, in order to fully utilize the performance of computer systems in a cluster, a good scheduling method that distributes user requests evenly to servers in required. In this paper, we propose a new method for reducing the service latency. In our method, each Web server in the cluster has different content. This helps to reduce the complexity of load balancing algorithm and the service latency The Web server that received a request from the load balancer responds to the client directly without passing through the load balancer. Simulation studies show that our method performs better than other traditional methods. In terms of response time, our method shows shorter latency than RR (Round Robin) and LC (Least Connection) by about 16%, 14% respectively.
