They confirm that there are no personal, financial, or professional associations that could inspire the research, analysis, or explanation of the findings presented in this work. Author’s contributions Conceptualization: All authors contributed to the conceptualization of the efficient load balancer for local internet service providers based on operations research. Methodology: [Author 1] and [Author 2], have developed the methodology, combining operation research algorithms, explicitly linear programming, to address the challenges in minimizing transport and distribution of internet bandwidth cost. Algorithm Design: [Author 1] designed the Efficient Weighted Round Robin Load Balancer (EWRRLB), introducing a novel approach by considering the cost of transmission paths along with capacity and priority. Data Analysis: [Author 226 MUHANAD D. ALMAWLAWE ET AL. /AL-QADISIYAH JOURNAL FOR ENGINEERING SCIENCES 17 (2024) 220–226 3] conducted data analysis, confirming the proposed algorithm's ability to allocate bandwidth efficiently while minimizing cost. Writing Original Draft: The initial draft of the paper was organized by [Tariq M. Salman], with input and revisions from both authors. Writing Review and Editing: The authors reviewed and contributed to the editing and refinement of the paper.
