Network load balancing with host status information

摘要

A system comprises at least one processor; and one or more media including processor-executable instructions that are capable of being executed by the at least one processor. The processor-executable instructions are adapted to direct the system to perform actions comprising receiving host status information from a plurality of hosts; and making load balancing decisions responsive to the received host status information. The processor-executable instructions are adapted to direct the system to perform actions comprising determining health and load information on a per application basis; and selecting an application from among multiple applications responsive to the health and load information. The processor-executable instructions are adapted to direct the system to perform actions comprising accumulating host status information at multiple hosts; and sending the accumulated host status information from the multiple hosts
