Queueing Model Based Network Server Performance Control

Controlling the timing performance of a network server is a challenging problem. This paper presents a Queueing Model Based Feedback Control approach to keep the timing performance of a network server close to the service level specification. We show that in an instrumented Apache server, combining feedback control with a queueing model leads to better tracking of QoS specifications than with feedback control alone or queueing model based feed forward control alone.
