Abstract

Traditional techniques for a distributed web server design rely on manipulation of central resources, such as routers or DNS services, to distribute requests designated for a single IP address to multiple web servers. The goal of the Distributed Scalable Web Server development is to explore application-level techniques for distributing web content. We achieve this by dynamically manipulating the hyperlinks stored within the web documents themselves. The distributed scalable web server effectively eliminates the bottleneck of centralized resources, while balancing the load among distributed web servers. The web servers may be located in different networks, or even different continents and still balance load effectively. The distributed scalable web server design is fully compatible with existing HTTP protocol semantics and existing web client software products.
