Game server switching method, apparatus, and system

A game server switching system, comprising a load balancer, a network-layer access subsystem, a network-layer proxy subsystem, a game logic subsystem, and a role login management server,

• a communication connection being established between the load balancer and a game client, the load balancer being connected to the network-layer access subsystem, the network-layer access subsystem being connected to the network-layer proxy subsystem, the network-layer proxy subsystem being connected to the game logic subsystem, the game logic subsystem being connected to the role login management server, and the game logic subsystem comprising a first game server and a second game server, the first game server communicating with the game client by using the network-layer proxy subsystem, the network-layer access subsystem, and the load balancer;
• and
• the first game server being configured to:
• determine, based on a game data obtaining request from the game client, that the first game server does not store game data requested by the game data obtaining request;
• and send a route switching request message to the network-layer access subsystem by using the network-layer proxy subsystem;
• the network-layer access subsystem being configured to establish a communication connection between the network-layer access subsystem and the second game server based on the route switching request message;
• the first game server being further configured to send a write-back request to the role login management server;
• the role login management server being configured to send user role data to the second game server based on the write-back request in response to receiving the write-back request;
• and
• the second game server being configured to:
• send, in response to obtaining the user role data from the role login management server, the game data to the game client by using the network-layer proxy subsystem, the network-layer access subsystem, and the load balancer.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising an instruction, which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform a game server switching method, applied to a game server switching system, the game server switching system comprising a load balancer, a network-layer access subsystem, a network-layer proxy subsystem, a game logic subsystem, and a role login management server,

• a communication connection being established between the load balancer and a game client, the load balancer being connected to the network-layer access subsystem, the network-layer access subsystem being connected to the network-layer proxy subsystem, the network-layer proxy subsystem being connected to the game logic subsystem, the game logic subsystem being connected to the role login management server, and the game logic subsystem comprising a first game server and a second game server, the first game server communicating with the game client by using the network-layer proxy subsystem, the network-layer access subsystem, and the load balancer;
• and
• the method comprising:
• determining, based on a game data obtaining request from the game client, that the first game server does not store game data requested by the game data obtaining request, and sending a route switching request message to the network-layer access subsystem by using the network-layer proxy subsystem;
• establishing a communication connection between the network-layer access subsystem and the second game server based on the route switching request message;
• sending a write-back request to the role login management server;
• sending, in response to receiving the write-back request, user role data to the second game server based on the write-back request;
• and
• sending, in response to obtaining the user role data from the role login management server, the game data to the game client by using the network-layer proxy subsystem, the network-layer access subsystem, and the load balancer.
