Abstract

The advancements in the field of Computers and other related technologies are becoming a boon to multimedia industry. One of the multimedia service that is gaining attraction from millions of customers across the world is Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems. Hence, effective strategies for distribution of load among the servers are essential. This paper focuses on solving the load imbalance problem by using a dynamic load balancing strategy. In particular, it uses distributed dynamic load balancing strategy because of its efficiency upto 93% when compared to the centralized dynamic load balancing strategy which has 90% of efficiency. Thus, a comparative analysis of centralized and distributed strategies for dynamic load balancing in VoD systems is carried out.
