How to build load balancing service application

In ROS2 environment (such as Jazzy, rolling)

Use rolling as example

$ source /opt/ros/rolling/setup.bash
$ mkdir -p ros2_ws/src && cd ros2_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/Barry-Xu-2018/ros2_service_load_balancing.git
$ cd ..
$ colcon build

How to run

Use add_two_ints_server (service server) and add_two_ints_client_async (service client) as an example to introduce how to use load balancing service application

launch service load balancing application

Service load balancing application needs to run first.

$ source /PATH/TO/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash
$ ros2 run service_load_balancing service_load_balancing -s add_two_ints -t example_interfaces/srv/AddTwoInts --strategy less_requests -i 1

The application parameters are introduced as follows

Usage:
    /root/ros2_ws/install/service_load_balancing/lib/service_load_balancing/service_load_balancing [-h|--help] [-s|--service-name SERVICE_NAME] [-t|--service-type SERVICE_TYPE] [--strategy XXX] [-i|--interval TIME]
       --strategy choose one of "round_robin", "less_requests" and "less_response_time"
                  If not set, "round_robin" is used as default.
                  "round_robin": select the service server in order.
                  "less_requests": select the service server with the fewest requests.
                  "less_response_time": select the service server with the shortest average response time.
       --interval Interval to discovery service servers. Unit is second.
                  If not set, default is 1s.

After run, you will get the below output

   Load balancing service name: /load_balancing/add_two_ints
                  Service type: example_interfaces/srv/AddTwoInts
       Load balancing strategy: less_requests
  Interval of server discovery: 1s
------------------------------
Service client remap service name to /load_balancing/add_two_ints
Service server remap service name to /load_balancing/add_two_ints/XXX
------------------------------

launch service server

The service server can refer to the above hint in log output to remap the service name for using the load balancing service.
Assume we start with 2 service servers. Of course, you can add service servers at any time.
In a new terminal,

$ source /opt/ros/rolling/setup.bash
$ ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp add_two_ints_server --ros-args -r add_two_ints:=load_balancing/add_two_ints/s1

In another new terminal,

$ source /opt/ros/rolling/setup.bash
$ ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp add_two_ints_server --ros-args -r add_two_ints:=load_balancing/add_two_ints/s2

Note that you must use different name under load_balancing/add_two_ints/.

launch service client

We can run any number of service clients to connect to the service.

$ source /opt/ros/rolling/setup.bash
$ ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp add_two_ints_client_async --ros-args -r add_two_ints:=load_balancing/add_two_ints
