ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for load balancing within a computer system makes use of client MAC addresses, reduced modulo N, to direct client requests to a particular server within a server farm. The method is particularly applicable to load balancing applied to AAA servers. In the preferred embodiments, the method can handle failovers and fail-back with few or no aborted authentications.
