A performance study of client-broker-server systems

The role of brokers in client-server systems is to accommodate flexible, open, heterogeneous system design and to facilitate fault tolerance and improved performance through load balancing. Some architectural design decisions, such as broker distribution and server replication, strongly affect the system performance. The paper presents alternative client-broker-server architectures and compares their performance by using a combination of measurements and simulation. Broker distribution is found to reduce
