/**
 * @class LoadBalancing
 *
 * @brief This module defines the interfaces and data types used in
 * TAO's Load Balancing service. 
 * @par
 * TAO's Load Balancer manages distribution of requests to replicas of
 * a given Object in an effort to ensure that the  applications/hosts
 * pointed to by the Object reference are as equally loaded as
 * possible, i.e. load balanced.
 * @par
 * The definition of 'load' is application specific, for example, some
 * applications may choose to load balance access to multiple
 * dedicated lines, or separate network interfaces, as well as more
 * traditional load balancing metrics, such as CPU or power load.
