Abstract
A system and method for distributing requests for objects to hosts that store replicas of the objects, and for managing the placement of the replicas among hosts. Metrics for the historical demand of a replica at a host and the distance of the host from the requester of the object are evaluated and used to make decisions as to where to forward the request substantially independently from any input provided by a host to which a request is forwarded. This simplifies autonomous replica placement decisions made by hosts. A host substantially autonomously uses request metric and load information to select a replica to be deleted, migrated or replicated, and to delete, migrate or replicate a selected replica.
