METHOD AND SYSTEM OF FRAME BASED IDENTIFIER LOCATOR NETWORK PROTOCOL (ILNP) LOAD BALANCING AND ROUTING |
摘要 |
A method to provide load balancing and routing for a plurality of end systems in a network. The network contains a load balancer (LB) and the method comprises receiving a request frame with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses specified. A destination address is associated with a set of target end systems and presence of a nonce option indicates the requesting correspondent node is Identifier Locator Network Protocol (ILNP) capable. The method further comprises directing the request frame to a specific end system from the set of target end systems that share a load balanced address, wherein each target end system has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address, and wherein each end system of the set of target end systems is uniquely addressable using a unique direct path locator prefix and common identifier combination. The request frame is then forwarded to the specific end system. |
