Shang Xiao-lin · 2002
E-mail has been one of the key servers of Internet services. With the popularity and increasing number of Internet users, traditional centralized mail server cannot meet the requirements for large volume of users. This paper discusses approaches to balance the distributed mail system by using Linux Virtual Server based on layer-4 switching. The results of applying various request dispatching algorithms in the experiments are reported.
