An Evalulation of the Pool Maintenance Overhead in Reliable Server Pooling Systems

Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) is a protocol framework for server redundancy and session failover, currently still under standardization by the IETF RSerPool WG. An important property of RSerPool is its lightweight architecture: server pool and session management can be realized with small CPU power and memory requirements. That is, RSerPool-based services can also be managed and provided by embedded systems. Currently, there has already been some research on the performance of the data structures managing server pools. But a generic, applicationindependent performance analysis – in particular also including measurements in real system setups – is still missing. Therefore, the aim of this paper is – after an outline of
