Techniques to perform the dynamic configuration of load-balanced relay operations

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor circuit on a device;
• a first load balancer component operative to receive a first-client relay bind request from a first client device, the first client device associated with a first network address, the first-client relay bind request associated with a first client device identifier for the first client device, the first-client relay bind request comprising relay information provided by a relay initiation component, the relay information to include a session identifier;
• determine a first relay server component based on the first client device identifier by applying a hashing function to the first client device identifier;
• and forward the first-client relay bind request to the first relay server component;
• the first relay server component operative on the processor circuit to receive the first-client relay bind request from the first load balancer component;
• extract the session identifier from the first-client relay bind request;
• and register the first client device in association with the session identifier in a persistent shared-memory storage component;
• a second load balancer component operative to receive a second-client relay bind request from a second client device, the second-client relay bind request associated with a second client device identifier for the second client device, the second-client relay bind request comprising the same relay information provided by the relay initiation component as the first relay bind request;
• determine a second relay server component based on the second client device identifier by applying the hashing function to the second client device identifier;
• forward the second-client relay bind request to the second relay server component;
• receive a second-client relay network packet from the second client device, the second-client relay network packet associated with the second client device identifier for the second client device;
• determine the second relay server component based on the second client device identifier by applying the hashing function to the second client device identifier;
• and forward the second-client relay network packet to the second relay server component;
• the second relay server component operative to receive the second-client relay bind request from the second load balancer component;
• extract the session identifier from the second-client relay bind request;
• access the persistent shared-memory storage component based on the session identifier;
• retrieve the first network address based on accessing the persistent shared-memory storage component based on the session identifier;
• associate the first network address as a relay destination for the second client device;
• receive the second-client relay network packet from the second load balancer component;
• identify the second client device based on the second network address;
• and transmit the second-client relay network packet to the first client device based on the first network address in response to identifying the second client device based on the second network address.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

• receive a first-client relay bind request from a first load balancer component at a first relay server component, the first-client relay bind request forwarded from the first load balancer component after reception from a first client device, the first client device associated with a first network address, the first-client relay bind request associated with a first client device identifier for the first client device, the first-client relay bind request comprising relay information provided by a relay initiation component, the relay information to include a session identifier;
• extract the session identifier from the first-client relay bind request by the first relay server component;
• register the first client device in association with the session identifier in a persistent shared-memory storage component by the first relay server component;
• receive a second-client relay bind request from a second load balancer component at a second relay server component, the second-client relay bind request forwarded from the second load balancer component after reception from a second client device, the second-client relay bind request associated with a second client device identifier for the second client device, the second-client relay bind request comprising the same relay information provided by the relay initiation component as the first bind request;
• extract the session identifier from the second-client relay bind request;
• access the persistent shared-memory storage component based on the session identifier;
• retrieve the first network address based on accessing the persistent shared-memory storage component based on the session identifier;
• associate the first network address as a relay destination for the second client device;
• receive a second-client relay network packet from the second load balancer component, the second-client relay network packet forwarded from the second load balancer component after reception from the second client device;
• identify the second client device based on the second network address;
• and
• transmit the second-client relay network packet to the first client device based on the first network address in response to identifying the second client device based on the second network address.
