Abstract :
Load sharing improves the performance of distributed systems by moving work from heavily loaded to lightly loaded nodes. The author compares the performance of two principal load sharing policies under different circumstances, providing a generalized description of their behavior that holds true regardless of the specific system and workload models, and parameter values
