Abstract
Once the web site becomes a popular then single web server may not be able to handle high volume of incoming traffic. In order to achieve web server scalability, more servers need to be added to distribute the load among the servers. Scalability and availability can be provided by distributed web server architectures that assign the client request among the multiple server nodes. Load sharing and Load balancing techniques are applying for assign the request among the multiple web servers. In this paper we will review the distributed web architecture, request dispatching approach and dispatching algorithms for distributed web server systems.
