Abstract:

This paper presents the details of a prototype load balancing package and tabulates the results of preliminary performance measurements. Our implementation uses the networking facilities provided in 4.2 BSD UNIX, and is currently running on a local area network of SUN workstations. Although our work is still in progress, initial benchmarks show that our approach is extremely promising.
