Abstract
The aim of this article is to present an original modeling of dynamic load balancing, using queueing theory and probabilities. After briefly presenting the dynamic load balancing techniques, we model the optima l strategy. We verify the analytical results by using simulation techn iques. This modeling method is applicable to other strategies, incorpo rating a greater number of variables. The analysis of the results obta ined by the optimal model allows us to progress to the elaboration of other strategies to improve load balancing efficiency.
