Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for load balancing on a computer network that utilizes two levels of addressing abstraction--logical and physical. Logical processes are mapped to physical processes using a logical interface and may be done in a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-one fashion. The mapping is dynamic in the sense that mapping decisions may include selection functions that can be changed on the fly so that servers can be added or removed in a manner that is relatively transparent to the client. The system and method are also applied to the World Wide Web so that web sites can also dynamically distribute processes over a plurality of servers.
