ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a apparatus and method for reducing resource location traffic in a compute network. The reduction in location traffic is obtained by a method and apparatus such that a node which has initiated a search for a resource which cannot be found starts a timing cycle interval during which subsequent initiating requests at the node are automatically failed without performing the network search. This reduces network traffic for searches that are likely to fail. Also disclosed is a threshold counter that alleviates possible difficulties that this may cause for high demand resources. The threshold counter is incremented each time a search for a specific resource is automatically failed. A network search is performed when either the interval expires or the threshold counter exceeds a threshold count.
