Summary:Popular Web sites cannot rely on a single powerful server nor on
independent mirrored-servers to support the ever-increasing request
load. Distributed Web server architectures that transparently schedule
client requests offer a way to meet dynamic scalability and availability
requirements. The authors review the state of the art in load balancing
techniques on distributed Web-server systems, and analyze the
efficiencies and limitations of the various approaches
