Method and apparatus for load balancing with prediction and computer-readable recording medium having method for load balancing with prediction

摘要

The present invention predicts the load for each server and predicts the connection time for a newly requested connection when servicing multimedia data to multiple users using multiple servers, and predictive load balancing method for distributed processing to the most suitable server and It relates to an apparatus suitable for this and a recording medium readable by a computer containing a predictive load balancing method. Predictive load balancing method A connection history storage process of storing content connection rate statistical data by user / by content / by content type / by time zone; A connection time prediction process for predicting an expected connection time for a current connection and an expected connection time for a newly requested connection based on data created in the connection history storage process; A load prediction process for predicting a load at a specific point in the future for each server by summing up the estimated connection time for the current connection and the estimated connection time for the newly requested connection created in the connection time prediction process for each server; And A load balancing process for managing an actual connection based on data created in the load prediction process; It includes.
