文摘There are two kinds of dispatching policies in content-aware web server cluster; segregation dispatching policy and mixture dispatching policy. Traditional scheduling algorithms all adopt mixture dispatching policy.

This paper uses stochastic reward net (SRN) to model and analyze the two dispatching policies, and uses stochastic Petri net package (SPNP) to simulate the models.
