Abstract: Fog computing is one of the enabling computing technology which primarily aims to fulfill the requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is fast-growing networking and computing sector. The scalability of users, devices, and application is crucial for the success of IoT systems. The load balancing is an approach to distribute the load among computing nodes so that the computing nodes are not overloaded. In this paper, we propose the priority-based request servicing at fog computing centers. We particularly address the situation when the fog node in fog computing center (FCC) receives more workload than their capacity to handle it. The increased workload is shifted to nearby fog nodes rather than to the remote cloud. The proposed approach is able to minimize the offloading the high priority request to other nodes by 11% which proves the novelty of our proposed.
