whitepaper Improving Load Balancing With Multipath Routing2008-05-18 University Louis Pasteur
  Internet service providers have to provision network resources to optimize bandwidth utilization. Dynamic routing protocols take traffic variations into account to control the load distribution. Multipath routing protocols attempt to take advantage of the path diversity to bring network robustness and reliability. Indeed, with a specific traffic engineering policy, they enable load balancing across several paths. The aim is to compute a set of loopfree paths in order to allow routers to share the load on several next hops depending on current load measurement. This paper describe the original Incoming Interface Multipath Routing technique, DT(p), then it present a scheme for load balancing, DT(p)-TE, based on link monitoring.

whitepaper Load Balancing for Multimedia Streaming in Heterogeneous Peer-to-Peer Systems2008-05-14 Association for Computing Machinery
  Multimedia streaming of mostly user generated content is an ongoing trend, not only since the upcoming of Last.fm and YouTube. A distributed decentralized multimedia streaming architecture can spread the (traffic) costs to the user nodes, but requires providing for load balancing and consider the heterogeneity of the participating nodes. This paper propose a DHT-based information gathering and analyzing architecture which controls the streaming request assignment in the system and thoroughly evaluate it in comparison to a distributed stateless strategy. The impact of the key parameters is evaluated in the allocation function which considers the capabilities of the nodes and their contribution to the system.

whitepaper Dynamic Aspect-Oriented Load Balancing in Java RMI2008-05-08 University of Waterloo
  Load balancing is the process of distributing client requests over a set of servers, and is a key element of obtaining good performance in a distributed application. Java RMI extends Java with distributed objects whose methods can be called from remote clients. In some Java RMI programs, there may be multiple replicas of a given object that can be the receiver of a remote method invocation. Effectively distributing these requests across these replicas requires either an extra balancer process or additional code on the client for this distribution. This paper demonstrates the use of dynamic aspects in JAC to solve this problem.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Configuring DNS, Certificates, Ports, and Load Balancers for Communications Server 2007 (Level 300)2008-05-06 Microsoft Tips
  Within Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, users are required to deploy servers with appropriate DNS records, ports configured, and possibly load balancers depending on what type of topologies are selected. This webcast will address all three in advanced topology configurations and also provide examples of global type deployments with these settings.

whitepaper Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) and Message-Based Load Balancing (MBLB)2008-05-01 F5 Networks
  At the service provider level, the number of VLAN, TCP (or UDP) port, and IP triplet combinations is affecting the Session Initiated Protocol (SIP). Between servers, where the VLAN, TCP port, and IP variations are limited, the ephemeral ports are constantly being pushed and overrun. Because of active SIP subscriber counts in the millions, the potential to use various combinations of IP addresses and ephemeral ports is not realistic. Providing a method to aggregate and disaggregate these communications into a single triplet - or as an individual stream of information - enables greater scalability, performance, and reliability, and relieves the strain caused by these limitations.   
whitepaper Benchmark Framework for a Load Balancing Single System Image2008-05-01 Universiti Putra Malaysia
  Recent developments in the load balancing Single System Image (SSI) clusters enabled workstations to provide a cost effective and high performance environment which has become increasingly attractive to many users. However, in practice, clusters of workstation failed to exploit their performance potential advantages. This paper presents and propose a framework for benchmarking and performance evaluation of a load balancing SSI and shows how this framework used as a methodology for a comprehensive examination of load balancing SSI clusters performance and behavior.   
whitepaper A Repartitioning Hypergraph Model for Dynamic Load Balancing2008-04-07 Ohio State University
  In parallel adaptive applications, the computational structure of the applications changes over time, leading to load imbalances even though the initial load distributions were balanced. To restore balance and to keep communication volume low in further iterations of the applications, dynamic load balancing (repartitioning) of the changed computational structure is required. Repartitioning differs from static load balancing (partitioning) due to the additional requirement of minimizing migration cost to move data from an existing partition to a new partition. This paper presents a novel repartitioning hypergraph model for dynamic load balancing that accounts for both communication volume in the application and migration cost to move data, in order to minimize the overall cost.   
whitepaper Next-Gen Load Balancing: Delivering Advanced Web Apps2008-04-01 Citrix Systems
  As the global business environment has evolved, companies have significantly expanded their reliance on remote and mobile access to business applications over the Internet. Applications that must be available to employees in the field, in branch offices and in home offices are increasingly delivered via a corporate intranet or portal. Further, for many organizations, externally facing websites are an integral component of day-in/day-out business interactions with customers, suppliers and partners. In addition, due to the incorporation of Web 2.0 functionality, applications have become far more dynamic and interactive compared to their predecessors. For all these reasons, businesses recognize they cannot function effectively without a robust solution to ensure uninterrupted, secure and high-performance access to network-based business applications and corporate websites.   
whitepaper Performance Analysis of Load Balancing Algorithms2008-04-01 World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology
  Load balancing is the process of improving the performance of a parallel and distributed system through a redistribution of load among the processors. This paper presents the performance analysis of various load balancing algorithms based on different parameters, considering two typical load balancing approaches static and dynamic. The analysis indicates that static and dynamic both types of algorithm can have advancements as well as weaknesses over each other. Deciding type of algorithm to be implemented will be based on type of parallel applications to solve. The main purpose of this paper is to help in design of new algorithms in future by studying the behavior of various existing algorithms.
