    摘要: Provided are a load balancing apparatus, which is configured to prevent an overload from occurring and perform effectively a load balancing operation even for servers distributed throughout a network, and a load balancing method performed using the same. the method may include determining whether a data packet received from a client may be a packet requiring a load balancing operation, determining at least one of physical servers provided in a distributed server farm as an target server to provide a service to the client, depending on the judgment, determining a forwarding path between the client and the target server, determining a header rewriting node, and referring the forwarding path and the header rewriting node to determine a forwarding rule and load the forwarding rule on a switch provided on the forwarding path.
