Pandemic remote access design

摘要

In one example embodiment, a system and method is illustrated that includes receiving user count information that includes a user count value and an address identifier. Further, an operation is executed that includes using the user count information to determine whether a limit variable has been exceeded. An operation is executed that removes a member, identified by the address identifier, from a load balancing pool, where the limit variable has been exceed by the user count information. A further operation is shown that includes introducing a device into the load balancing pool, where the user count information is less than or equal to the difference between the limit variable value and a buffer variable.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method comprising: sending, to each device of a plurality of devices in a load balancing pool via a management interface of the device, a query; receiving, from each device via the management interface of the device, a response to the query comprising user count information that includes a user count value and an address identifier of the management interface of the device, the user count value indicating a number of users currently being served by the device; determining, by use of a processor, for each device, an identity of an external interface of the device corresponding to the received address identifier of the management interface of the device, the external interface of the device being employed to serve the users currently being served by the device; determining, for each device, a limit variable corresponding to the device based on the identity of the external interface of the device; and removing a device of the plurality of devices from the load balancing pool based on the user count value of the user count information for the device exceeding the limit variable corresponding to the device; reintroducing, to the load balancing pool, a second device of the plurality of devices that was previously removed from the load balancing pool for which the user count value for the second device is less than the entry value corresponding to the second device.
