Abstract
Many popular Web sites employ a set geographically dispersed, replicated servers to address the issue of overloaded servers and network congestion. Such distributed Web sites require allocation mechanisms to dispatch request in a way such that any desired load distribution can be enforced. Unlike most traditional approaches, we propose a technique which pushes the allocation functionality onto the client. We argue that this approach scales well and may result in increased performance in many...Keywords
