Short title:Multiplexing of Web Server

AREA OF STUDY
Most companies need to have their Web site with fast access, so it using a sequence of Web servers. But the company has only one address (www.site.com). How does it work? You have a “box” at the top of the Web Servers. The purpose of this box is to multiplex access to servers.

RATIONALE
The “box” is very expensive, so the task is to implement a software running on a computer and able to the multiplex accesses to servers. A server application will be programmed in JAVA and C++. The client will be programmed in JAVA. The server application will have to give the job to the less busy Web server and so on.
Objective: this project is to simulate the “magic box” by software, to learn the JAVA language and to use CORBA technology for network.

SUMMARY TITLE
Sharing out the network load for the Web servers with a same address. Tools: UNIX system, CORBA technology, JAVA and C++ languages.

METHODOLOGY
1. Search how the “box” works.
2. Search how to use the network load for the clients (Web servers).
3. Search how to simulate a Web server for the client application and to analyse the Web data.
4. Program the client daemon (JAVA).
5. Program the server application; graphical interface (JAVA), Web server (C++), link server (JAVA).
6. Test in a computing room: 2 Web servers, 1 PC for the server application (“box”) needed.
