- Scalable Load-Distance Balancing
- This paper introduces the problem of load-distance balancing in assigning users of a delay-sensitive networked application to servers. The paper models the service delay experienced by a user as a sum of a network-incurred delay, which depends on its network distance from the server, and a server-incurred delay, stemming from...
