This survey is an up-to-date state-of-the-art in Web load balancing mechanisms that includes all the possible classifications and focuses on the advantages of using load balancing solutions to increase the performance of the Web system. A general description of the Web load balancing solutions is included and organised by differentiating the OSI protocol stack layer the load balancing is based on. The most important request distributing polices that are proposed in the literature are also included. This article summarises all previous surveys on the Web load balancing subject and updates the state-of-the-art with the most recent load balancing proposals.
