Abstract: A requests redirection algorithm for load balance based on buffer queueing length dynamic prediction (BMP) was presented. The M/M/1 model is used to describe the load balancing problem for content distribution networks. This method provides reduction of the unnecessary redirection with the queueing length prediction mechanism. And meanwhile, the overload of single point can be avoided. Evaluation shows that the proposed BMP algorithm achieved more balancing effect in server queue length compared to the so-called control law for load balancing algorithm. And the total cost of the request response time is obviously decreased due to the natively reduction of the unnecessary request redirection.
