1. A load balancing method for distributing load to a plurality of servers which provide a software streaming service to clients, comprising:

  • classifying sessions established between the servers and the clients into first sessions which send data for initial execution and second sessions which send data desired by users after the initial execution is completed, and collecting the resulting session information of each of the servers;

    calculating a total load amount of each of the servers under the condition of applying different load weights to the first and second sessions; and

    comparing the total load amounts of the servers with one another to select a server with a minimum one of the total load amounts from among the servers when the software streaming service is requested by a new client, and allocating the selected server to the new client such that the selected server provides the software streaming service to the new client.
