Load balancing is the process of distributing a workload among various servers. Queuing is the most common scenario for day-to-day applications. Queuing theory is used to study the problem of waiting lines. Queuing theory bridges the gap between service demands and the delay in replies given to users. The proposed QPSL Queuing Model makes use of M/M/k queue with FIFO queue discipline for load balancing in cloud computing. The model makes use of exponential distribution for calculating service rates and Poisson distribution for calculating waiting lines. The proposed QPSL queuing model is also compared with other existing queuing models for load balancing on various parameters. The experimental analysis depicts that QPSL model performed better in terms of service rate and response time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
