Abstract
To satisfy SLA(Service Level Agreement) contract between a client and a service provider, the client requests are classified and processed by priorities. In providing differentiated service, a request from a client who has low priority can be dealt with less important. In this paper, we study static and dynamic partitioning mechanism of web servers and also admission control policy for multiclass request distribution. Through simulation experiments, we analyze web server throughput and response time considering SLA.
