Abstract

Round Robin Algorithm plays a crucial role in load balancing of server farms. This paper’s primary focus is to benchmark the Round Robin algorithm in Server Load Balancing (SLB) using Software Defined Networking (SDN). Experimental results show that the Round Robin algorithm gives 100% availability of the servers. Load balancing is done among the live servers from the server pool. In our experiment, the Round Robin load-balancing algorithm is implemented using a POX controller and an OpenFlow switch.
