Abstract : Recently, fog computing has been introduced as a modern distributed paradigm and complement to cloud computing to provide services. Fog system extends storing and computing to the edge of the network, which can solve the problem about service computing of the delay-sensitive applications remarkably besides enabling the location awareness and mobility support. Load balancing is an important aspect of fog networks that avoids a situation with some under-loaded or overloaded fog nodes. Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as resource utilization, throughput, cost, response time, performance, and energy consumption can be improved with load balancing. In recent years, some researches in load balancing techniques in fog networks have been carried out, but there is no systematic review to consolidate these studies. This article reviews the load balancing mechanisms systematically in fog computing in four classifications, including approximate, exact, fundamental, and hybrid methods. Also, this article investigates load balancing metrics with all advantages and disadvantages related to chosen load balancing mechanisms in fog networks. The evaluation techniques and tools applied for each reviewed study are.
