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