ABSTRACT:
A technique for adaptively distributing a web server request in a system having a plurality of web servers is disclosed. In one embodiment, the technique is realized by first generating a web server request distribution function for each of the plurality of web servers based upon performance measures of each of the plurality of web servers, wherein each of the plurality of web servers is assigned a respective probability range based upon each respective web server request distribution function. A random probability number is then generated for a web server request. The particular probability range encompassing the random probability number is then determined so as to identify the corresponding web server to which the web server request is to be distributed.
