Problem Definition

• Static capacity in server based systems.
• System crashes on unexpected number of requests.
• Systems administrators must manually balance the
  load.
• Low level work is necessary for system balance
  changes.

An Example
Media Server
Users
Reverse Proxies

What does our system do?

• Solve problem in a dynamic manner.
• Dynamic load distribution
• Dynamic amount of Web Servers
• Change the system specs on the fly.
• Capacity
• Security Authorization

6
How does the system work?

• New stream is added to the system by the admin.
• Configuration files of web servers and load
  balancer is editted by the media server.
• Relative processes are started on the web
  servers.
• Load balancer redirects new clients to one of the
  available web servers.

7
Implementation

• Programming Languages
• PHP, HTML
• C, Javascript
• Bash scripts
• Web servers
• Apache
• Nginx
• Media Server
• VLC Media Player
• Load Balancer Tool
• nginx

8
Implementation

• Database
• MySQL
• Development Tools
• NetBeans IDE
• Tortoise SVN

Current Status

• User Interface
• Admin Interface

10
Current Status

• User Interface
• Client Interface

11
Current Status

• Web Server and Load Balancer Configurations
• Media server is capable of editing and
  controlling configuration files and processes of
  web servers and load balancer as intended.

12
Future Plan

• We are continuing our tests on the system.
• Different load levels.
• Load balancer dynamism may be improved further.

13
Conclusion

• Our system is mostly complete and we have
  recently started testing.
• So far, our load balancing seems to be working
  fine. We have encountered minor bugs and fixed
  them.
