In [1] we present the first analysis of Join-the-Shortest-Queue (JSQ) routing in Web server farms,
with Processor-Sharing (PS) servers. Please see that paper for details about the JSQ routing policy
and its analysis, and for the relevant references. The analytical work in [1] was backed up by many
simulation experiments, not all of which made it into the paper. This document is meant to serve
as an online supplement to [1], providing the full set of simulation results and comparisons with
analytical results. We hope that these will be useful for those who wish to extend our work on this
problem.
