Hi, I am working for my graduate thesis on load balancer. I am trying to implement delay based load balancing with Traffic server as a reverse proxy. I am using balancer.cc and writing my functionality there. I am using a map to store Sate Machine ids and delays computed between transaction start and transaction close events. But I could not find any difference between round robin method and my delayed based policy even though my four origin servers are having different CPU and memory configurations. I am guessing that the computation of comparing delays by accessing from maps causes more delay. I would like to contribute my implementation to Traffic server community once I finish my thesis.
Any pointers on how to proceed or where to look will be appreciated. Also is there any tool available to load test. Current I used "ab" and "RUBiS" Thanks Gandhimathi
