<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for balancing egress traffic load from a content provider between multiple service providers which can be used by the content provider. <P>SOLUTION: The system and the method are provided for managing the allocation of the egress traffic load from the content provider 302 among the multiple service providers. Load balancing between the multiple service providers used by the content provider is performed on the basis of an analysis of traffic volume, rather than a round robin scheme or a random scheme or the like. The system is provided that comprises the content provider communicatively coupled to the multiple service providers that provide access to a communication network 301. The system further comprises an egress traffic manager 304 operable to determine, on the basis at least in part of traffic volume of each of the multiple service providers, an optimal balance of the content provider's egress traffic to be routed to each of the multiple service providers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
