This paper proposes and evaluates a scalable dynamic load distribution scheme for multi-server distributed virtual environment systems, where users are highly skewed rather than uniformly distributed over a virtual environment. In the proposed scheme, an overloaded server initiating load distribution selects a set of servers to be involved in load distribution by dynamically adapting to the workload status of other servers, unlike the existing approaches. Upon completion of server selection, the intiating server repartitions the regions dedicated to the involved servers using a graph partitioning algorithm so that all the involved servers have the roughly equal workload. The involved servers then migrate their workloads with each other in a peer-to-peer manner according to the result of repartitioning. We present and analyze the simulation results that compare the performance of the proposed scheme with that of the existing schemes.
