Implementation and Research of Load Balancing Service on Cloud Computing Platform in IPv6 Network Environment

As a popular cloud platform in open source, OpenStack combines computing, networking and storage components to provide a complete IaaS solution. Based on the IPv6 environment, this paper builds an OpenStack cloud platform on the server and creates a network load balancer based in Neutron. When the amount of user access increases, the load balancer can distribute traffic based on different load balancing algorithms, thereby improving the reliability of the cloud computing platform. This paper improves the traditional Weighted Round robin algorithm, and simulates a large number of users through JMeter to access the virtual server in the cloud platform. The results show that the network load balancing algorithms have obvious positive effects. We further measure the performance of different load balancing algorithms, and prove that the improved algorithm works better.
