Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for forwarding service requests to an idle server from among a plurality of servers. For example, the method comprises, by a load balancer, tracking service requests on each backend server, estimating an additional load associated with currently pending requests based on resource usage statistics reported in a previous time interval, predicting which of the plurality of servers is most likely to be the most idle server for a next time interval using a statistical model based on the estimated additional load associated with currently pending requests, and forwarding service requests to the most idle server based on the prediction.
