Abstract
The present invention provides methods and systems for balancing the load on a plurality of servers using a load balancing algorithm which continuously examines the loads on the plurality of servers and makes adjustments in the loads accordingly. Among the factors considered in the load balancing are the power of each server relative to other servers, the load on each server relative to the other servers, and a “credit” for each server based on their power and load.
