Abstract
This paper discusses an availability of statistical property of network topology for the server development and server selection algorithm in distributed systems. As a first step, we introduce new server development and server selection algorithms based on a degree of a server—the number of links for a server—and a scope—coarse grained topological information around a server. Our simulation reveals that the use of both information as a static QoS parameter improves the fairness of server load in a real Internet AS-level topology.
