Using Thread Pools & Micro-Batching to Manage and Load-Balance Active Network Connections

(CS455 - Introduction to Distributed Systems)

• Managing incoming network connections
• Receiving data over the network connections
• Organizing data into batches to improve performance
• Sending data over the links

If you are using the scripts I have created (Makefile and start-node.sh), please the follow these steps.

1. In the Makefile, under run-server, change the values that follow cs455.scaling.server.Server as you wish.
2. Run make run-server (I have used port 5600)
3. Run sh start-nodes.sh <server-host> (example: sh start-nodes albany)
