Abstract

New designs of the Web switches must incorporate a client-and-server-aware adaptive dispatching algorithm to be able to optimize multiple static and dynamic services providing quality of service and service differentiation. This paper presents such an algorithm called FNRD (Fuzzy-Neural Request Distribution) which operates at layer-7 of the OSI protocol stack. This algorithm assigns each incoming request to the server with the least expected response time estimated using the fuzzy approach. FNRD has ability for learning and adaptation by means of a neural network feedback loop. We demonstrate through the simulations that our dispatching policy is more effective than state-of-the-art layer-7 reference dispatching policies CAP (Client-Aware Policy) and LARD (Locality Aware Request Distribution).
