Method and apparatus for communicating hot objects of a server to the server's load balancer

摘要: More effective load balancing by a Server Load Balancer may be achieved implementing extended Balancing information in server. The includes special listing of “hot” objects, or objects that have been designated for handling the Balancer. In order to determine which on server are at any particular point time, available throughput is determined. This then multiplied “hotness” percentage, resulting an Object Threshold Value (OTV). Each N assigned Request (ORV), determined taking utilizing most bandwidth. ORVs compared with OTV, and whose ORV exceeds OTV labeled as “hot”. Finally, communicated (SLB) handling.
