Load balancing among multiple mirror servers located at distributed positions in the network is a key technique for content delivery services. For bandwidth allocated services, we consider how to select a suitable server from several candidates containing the same content at the time of a request. We propose limiting the candidates in advance and selecting a server from the limited set of servers in a round-robin fashion. The server sets that minimize the variance of the link load are derived using a greedy method for a given network topology and service demand. Through numerical evaluation, we demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to previous methods.
