  • Patent number: 11956308
    Abstract: A distributed computing system uses dynamically calculates a subset size for each of a plurality of load balancers. Each of a plurality of load balancers logs requests from client devices for connections to back-end servers and periodically sends a request report to a traffic aggregator, which aggregates the report requests from the load balancers in the corresponding zone. Each traffic aggregator sends the aggregated request data to a traffic controller, which aggregates the request data to determine a total number of requests received at the system. The total request data is transmitted through each traffic aggregator to each load balancer instance, which calculates a percentage of the total number of requests produced by the load balancer and determines a subset size based on the calculated percentage.

  • Patent number: 9998529
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system and corresponding method for load balancing data traffic addressed to an anycast address include maintaining, by each of a plurality of load balancing (LB) devices a data structure including entries associated with application instances in a group of application instances served by the LB device. The frequency with which each served application instance is included in the data structure is indicative of a weight value associated with a capacity of the corresponding served application instance. Upon receiving a data packet, originally addressed to an anycast address, the LB device uses one or more header fields of the received data packet to identify a virtual Internet protocol (IP) address of one of the served application instances in the data structure maintained by the LB device. The LB device then forwards the data packet to the identified application instance.

  • Patent number: 9391979
    Abstract: A content distribution network includes a proxy server in communication with one or more content distribution servers. The proxy server services connections to the content distribution servers from one or more client devices. If connection request from a client device seeks a secure transmission that requires a certificate from a content distribution server, the proxy server determines the required certificate and transmits the certificate identification to the content distribution server.
