Abstract

The Web-based e-commerce causes the exponential growth of the Internet users and makes the security on the Internet important. To provide scalability for these increased bandwidth needs, it has been proposed that a pool of back-end Web servers are clustered and load-balanced by a dispatcher. Guaranteeing the security on an open public network, such as the Internet, needs time-consuming handshake protocol for authentication and encryption. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary bandwidth waste, the previously negotiated secure session should be reused. However, in the server cluster environment, load balancing mechanism conflicts with the session reuse efficiency. In this paper, we make close investigation into the TCP Splicing and content-aware dispatching technique and propose the method to improve the secure session reuse efficiency in cluster-based Web server systems.
