DETERMINING LOAD STATE OF REMOTE SYSTEMS USING DELAY AND PACKET LOSS RATE

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for managing workloads across multiple resources in a distributed computing system. A data traffic flow between a source device and each of a plurality of target devices within the distributed computing system is monitored. A load state of each of the plurality of target devices is determined based on the monitored data traffic flow. Upon detecting a resource constraint for at least one of the plurality of target devices, at least a portion of the data traffic flow between the source device and the resource-constrained target device is adjusted such that the device operates at a reduced load state. The data traffic flow to the particular target device may be readjusted so as to restore its load state to a default or predetermined operating level once the resource constrained has been resolved.

1. A computer-implemented method for managing workloads across multiple resources in a distributed computing system, the method comprising:
monitoring a data traffic flow between a source device and each of a plurality of target devices via a network; determining a load state of each of the plurality of target devices based on the monitored data traffic flow; detecting a resource constraint for a first target device in the plurality of target devices, based on the load state determined for the first target device; adjusting at least a portion of the data traffic flow between the source device and the first target device such that the first target device operates at a reduced load state; and upon determining that the first target device no longer has the resource constraint while operating at the reduced load state, readjusting the data traffic flow between the source device and the first target device so as to restore the load state of the first target device to a default or predetermined operating level that is above the reduced load state.
