System and method for segregating layer seven control and data traffic

摘要

A load balancer forwards a content request from a client system to a proxy server, receives from the proxy server a modified content request based on the content request and including information identifying a content origin server, opens a connection with the content origin server in response to receiving the first modified content request, and sends a second modified content request based upon the first modified content request to the content origin server. The load balancer also receives content associated with the content request from the content origin server, and forwards the content to the client system.
