Network Traffic Load Balancing In Gateways

Abstract

Load balancing is the practice of evenly distributing work among multiple devices.This technique provides several important benefits.Load Balancing in Gateways is a very important in today's emerging world.All the traffic of the computer network flows through the gateways of its network.A network gateway is an internetworking system capable of joining together two networks that use different base protocols.A network gateway can be implemented completely in software, completely in hardware, or as a combination of both.Network has great importance in gateway load balancing mechanism.The gateway node plays an important role as a bridge between different networks domains.The traffic load in gateways is a crucial part of the network which needs to be resolved and are important in order to reduce the load imbalance and to maximize the total network throughput.Such gateway load balancing is considered to improve the network performance more effectively than multipath load balancing.In this seminar, I am trying to show the network traffic, importance of traffic management in network especially in the gateways and point out that performing gateway load balancing is vital in order to take full advantage of the resources available and thereby improve the performance.A research study in this area and methodology to identify gateway load-balancing and characterize load-balanced paths is performed.
