A Study on High Speed Networking and Distributed Security System

摘要

The study uses two software packages (Packet Capture and Round Robin Test Package) to check packet volume from Virtual Network Structure (data generator, virtual server, Server 1, 2, 3), and finds out traffic distribution toward Server 1, 2, and 3. The functions of implemented Round Robin Load Balancing Monitoring System include round robin testing, system monitoring, and graphical indication of data transmission and packet volume. Graphical output was displayed running on Linux using GTK, which had menu to close a window and icons to tell which protocols are more often used by displaying five different kinds of protocols (Total, TCP, IP, ARP, and Other). As the result of the study shows, Round Robin Algorithm allows servers to ensure definite traffic distribution, unless incoming data loads differ much. Although error levels are high in some cases, they were eventually alleviated by repeated tests for a long period of time.
