Overview:
This paper outlines the implementation of a content-based load-balancing service-attached router. The content that special routing is performed on is HTTP traffic. A unique routing protocol is implemented on top of IP which allows for querying and sharing of content-based routing information among a network of such routers. Each router that receives a new HTTP request lookups the web servers available for the given URL embedded in the HTTP request and load-balances this traffic by choosing the web server with the least number of active sessions. In addition, each router supports a bandwidth query service. This service allows a network administrator to request the bandwidth usage (both incoming and outgoing) for a given router.
