ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides systems and methods for balancing a request load on device communication channels. A system includes a channel scanner, a processor, and a load balancer. The system may iteratively balance the request load on the communication channels. The device communication channels are typically connected between controllers and a system of devices. The channel scanner is configured for scanning the channels to determine the number or bandwidth of requests of each device. The processor may rank the devices by the number or bandwidth of requests of each device. The load balancer may allocate the requests between the channels based on the rank of the devices. For example, the load balancer may receive the rank order of the devices from the processor and allocate the requests based on the rank order. The load balancer may additionally allocate the requests based on present capabilities of the channels.
