基于 Mininet 的负载均衡策略性能分析

his study explores the effects of implementing a simple redirection method as a load balancing strategy in star and tree network topologies using the Mininet tool. Despite avoiding the complex logic required for programming controllers, the method we adopted still demonstrated significant performance improvements. The experiments included basic tests, load tests, and load balancing tests, aimed at evaluating network performance under various conditions. The results show that by adding a server and applying a load balancing strategy (such as the round-robin algorithm), even in a simple experimental setup, it is possible to significantly enhance network performance in high-traffic, high-availability, and low-latency industry applications, with an average response time improvement of about 30\%.
