Abstract :
Today, the World Wide Web is growing at an increasing rate and occupied a big percentage of the traffic in the Internet. These systems lead to overloaded and congested proxy servers. Load Balancing and Clustering of web servers helps in balancing this load among various web servers. In this paper we have given solution for load balancing Clustering using three different algorithms and frameworks. The objective of this paper is to enhance the execution time of a server, increasing reliability and optimizing the system performance. These are achieved through simulations on the proposed methods.

Key-Words / Index Term :
