ABSTRACT:
Upstream devices, such as load balancers or routers, within a server farm, may be configured to route requests to the servers handling sessions for those requests using a secure (e.g. encrypted) unique ID or network address received with requests identifying how requests may be routed through the server farm. Upstream devices or a server receiving a request that is not associated with a session may generate a unique ID or select a network address identifying how the request is routed through the server farm. The server handling the request forms a session ID and returns that session ID and the unique ID to the client that originated the request. Encryption may be performed on network addresses or session IDs. Upon receiving a request corresponding to an established session, an upstream device may then decrypt routing information from the encrypted unique ID or network address and send the request downstream accordingly.
