Popular Web sites cannot rely on a single powerful server nor on independent mirrored-servers to support ever increasing request load. Scalability and availability can be provided by distributed Web-server architectures that distribute client requests among the multiple servers in a user-transparent way. In this paper we will review the state of the art in load balancing techniques on distributed Web-server systems. We will analyze the efficiency and limitations of the various approaches and their tradeoff
