Explain distributed load testing? How we can achieve it by Jmeter?

Distributed Load Testing is the process in which heavy load is generated with the help of multiple load generators. In load testing reason for using multiple systems is to avoid generating a large number of users (threads) by a single system. In Jmeter we can achieve load testing by using Master-Slave configuration where all slaves can be controlled by the Master and the master is also responsible for collecting the test results.

NOTE: In this testing, all machines should be on the same network, and versions of Java and Jmeter should also be the same.
