Cloud provides the benefits of computing resources be it software, platform or infrastructure. These services are based on user’s demands which are shared over a virtualized environment. When the user’s request goes high it becomes difficult to manage these requests at one time. Thus there is a necessity to distribute this workload and computing resources fairly across one or more servers. A load balancer is like a “traffic cop” which directs the traffic to avoid a situation where few servers are overloaded while few are idle. Proper load balancing can ensure maximum throughput in minimum response time. This paper is a critical review of all the existing techniques of load balancing and comparison between them.
