Abstract

WebRTC has quickly grown to be the world's advanced real-time communication in several platforms such as web and mobile. In spite of the advantage, the current technology in WebRTC does not handle a big-streaming efficiently between peers and a large amount request of users on the Signaling server. Therefore, in this paper, we put our work to handle the problem by delivering the flow of data with dynamical load balancing algorithms. We analyze the request source users and direct those streaming requests to a load balancing component. More specifically, the component determines an amount of the requested resource and available resource on the response server, then it delivers streaming data to the requesting user parallel or alternately. To show how the method works, we firstly demonstrate the load-balancing algorithm by using a network simulation tool OPNET, then, we seek to implement the method into an Ubuntu server. In addition, we compare the result of our work and the original implementation of WebRTC, it shows that the method performs efficiently and dynamically than the origin.

WebRTC는 웹과 모바일과 같이 여러 플랫폼에서 세계 최고 수준의 실시간 커뮤니케이션으로 빠르게 성장했다. WebRTC의 현재 기술은 peer와 시그널링 서버에서 사용자가 요청한 많은 양의 큰 스트리밍을 효율적으로 처리하지 못한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 동적로드 밸런싱 알고리즘을 사용하여, 데이터 흐름 전달을 제공함으로써 문제를 처리하는 작업을 수행한다. 또한, 사용자가 요청하는 소스를 분석하고 이러한 스트리밍 요청을 로드 밸런싱 구성 요소에 전달한다. 구체적으로 구성 요소는 요청된 리소스와 사용가능한 리소스의 양을 응답 서버에서 결정한 후 스트리밍 데이터를 요청하는 사용자에게 병렬 또는 교대로 전달한다. 이와 같은 방법을 검증하기 위해 네트워크 시뮬레이션 도구 OPNET을 사용하여 로드 밸런싱 알고리즘을 시연 후 우분투 서버에 적용하여 구현한다. 또한 실험을 통해 도출된 결과와 WebRTC의 구현을 비교하여 제안함으로써 기존 방법보다 효율적이고 동적으로 수행되는 지를 보여준다.
