Problem Statement

Why someone should care about Booster?

Second Section

Solution

Collecting and forwarding network requests

problem #1

chain of forward proxies

Interesting fact

Idea

A forward proxy for each Internet access point

Proxies with adapted dialer

A forward proxy to collect and distribute network requests

Deciding how to distribute the workload

problem #2

Concept of Node

inside a Booster network

Communication performed using the Booster Protocol

  1. Nodes are connected in a peer-to-peer fashion
  2. Nodes inform their peers about their current workload in real-time
  3. Workload is forwarded to the least-busy node

Fault tolerance

problem #3

Third Section

Evaluation & Conclusion

How to test such an application?
