ABSTRACT
The paper gives a systematic analysis of the load balancing methods within the scope of the most common cases of the Internet of Things use and network protocols. It also presents the architecture of a load balancing system that supports HTTP, MQTT and CoAP protocols and utilizes a consistent hashing algorithm.
KEYWORDS
load balancing, consistent hashing, IoT, telemetry, HTTP, CoAP, MQTT.
