REDUCING TRANSMISSION PATHWAY LENGTHS WITHIN A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK

摘要

A solution for reducing transmission pathway lengths within a distributed network, as embodied in various systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media, may include migrating a TCP socket from a request server to a data server. The solution may further include reprogramming one or more routers to recognize a new packet route based on the migrated socket. The solution may include the one or more routers subsequently communicating directly with the data server while bypassing the request server.

1. A system for reducing transmission pathway lengths within a distributed network, the system including:
a request server communicatively coupled to the network, wherein the request server:
establishes a socket, the socket associated with socket state information,receives a client request from a client device communicatively coupled to the network, andidentifies a data server capable of fulfilling the client request, the data server being one of a plurality of data servers communicatively coupled to the network; and a router that receives a migrate socket request and the client request from the request server, wherein the router:
stores a routing table in memory,sends the migrate socket request and the client request to the data server identified by the request server as being capable of fulfilling the client request, wherein the identified data server establishes a new socket based on the migrate socket request, andreceives a data response from the identified data server over the established socket, wherein the response bypasses the request server.
