Methods and systems for routing application traffic

摘要

Methods and systems for routing application traffic to an operable system manager are provided. In particular, an arbiter application is provided to identify a currently active system manager. The arbiter application provides an address for the active system manager to a routing node. Applications send communications to the active system manager by associating such communications with a virtual system manager address. Such communications are delivered to the routing node, which associates the actual address for the currently active system manager with the communication. The communications are then delivered to the active system manager using the actual address.

1. A method for routing application traffic, comprising:
sending a first message from a first client-side application stored on a memory to a first client-side routing node; routing, by the first client-side routing node, the first message to a first system manager using a first address associated with the first system manager; providing by a first client-side arbiter stored on a memory a second address associated with a second system manager to the first client-side routing node; sending a second message from the first client-side application to the first client-side routing node; querying at least one of the first and second system managers by the first client-side arbiter, wherein the determination by the first client-side arbiter that the second system manager has replaced the first system manager is made in response to a result of querying the at least one of the first and second system managers; and routing, by the first client-side routing node, the second message to the second system manager using the second address.
