A load sharing system is a computer network in which the computers participating in the network are utilized evenly.

In a load sharing system, tasks are distributed among the data stations connected to the computer network in order to achieve an even load on the individual computers. Such a network ensures that the workload is distributed evenly, balances out any load peaks that occur and prevents bottlenecks by using computers with a low load to help relieve computers with a high load. By redistributing jobs, improvements in response and transaction times are achieved and idle computer times are reduced.
