IP Redundancy and Load Balancing With Gateway Load Balancing Protocol

Call centers are a fast growing industry whereby it sees millions of turnover in terms of profit. As the industry grows, the need to improvise their network to ensure smooth traffic increases in order to generate more profit. Most call centers which are based in Asia have customers from Europe. Hence, the providence of high availability, redundancy and business continuity is of utmost importance. The implementation of GLBP in this network seeks to do exactly that. This will be achieved because its implementation creates a good fail over, applies virtual routers, implements virtual gateway and load balancing to prevent network congestion and ensure smooth operation. GLBP will overcome the existing problems that call centers face. Its efficacy will be entirely demonstrated using GNS3 network simulator; existing problems will be simulated and compared with GLBP network. Thus, the aim of this research paper can be defended.
