Ways to do load balancing wrong
How does something like this end up published by the acm? Is this a special publication that isn't related to research at all?I don't mean to sound harsh, but there was nothing in this article even close to novel in an academic sense, and none of it is even new field knowledge if you've spent any non-trivial time around load balancers. Perhaps my notions of what the acm publishes are wrong...Make no mistake, it's a good article for things to look out for if you're getting into load balancing. It's just nothing new if you are already experienced in the field.
