Abstract
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 Webserver 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 distributed Web-server systems. We will analyze the efficiency and limitations of the various approaches and their tradeoff. 1 Introduction The explosive growth of traffic on the World Wide Web is causing a rapid increase in the request rate to popular Web sites. These sites can suffer from severe congestion, especially in conjunction with special events. One approach to handle popular Web sites is based on the replication of information across an independent mirrored-server architecture. This solution has a number of disadvantages, including the not usertransparent architecture, and the lack of control on the request distribution....
