Systems and methods for data service request classification and routing

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one control circuit in a Service Routing Agent, cause the Service Routing Agent to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining configuration information identifying service handler agents and applications associated therewith;
• initializing a list of at least one service handler circuit and an application associated therewith;
• programming at least one processor to listen for data service requests associated with the application;
• obtaining a data service request from the at least one processor;
• classifying the data service request according to the associated application;
• monitoring traffic statistics of the at least one processor, the traffic statistics including a traffic volume of the data service requests associated with the application;
• in response to the traffic volume satisfying a threshold, activating at least one additional processing circuit to process the data service requests;
• determining a priority level of the data service request based on a network load;
• determining whether a service handler circuit associated with the application has been activated;
• when the service handler circuit associated with the application has been activated, forwarding the data service request to the service handler circuit associated with the application based on the determined priority level of the data service request;
• when the service handler circuit associated with the application has not been activated, the control circuit is to perform operations including:
• requesting that the at least one service handler circuit be activated, and then forward the data service request to the at least one service handler circuit;
• identifying at least a second service handler circuit that has been activated and forwarding the data service request to the second service handler circuit;
• obtaining a response to the data service request from the at least one service handler circuit;
• forwarding the response to a requesting client;
• and
• updating and reporting the traffic statistics to an orchestrator.

A Service Routing Agent comprising:

• at least one interface circuit coupled to exchange signals with an orchestrator, at least one processor, and at least one service handler circuit;
• and
• at least one control circuit to:
• obtain a configuration of the at least one service handler circuit and its associated application;
• initialize a list of the at least one service handler circuit and its associated application;
• program the at least one processor to listen for data service requests associated with the application;
• obtain a data service request from the at least one processor;
• classify the data service request according to the associated application;
• monitor traffic statistics of the at least one processor, the traffic statistics including a traffic volume of the data service requests associated with the application;
• in response to the traffic volume satisfying a threshold, activate at least one additional processing circuit to process the data service requests;
• determine a priority level of the data service request based on a network load;
• determine whether at least one service handler circuit associated with the application has been activated;
• when the at least one service handler circuit has been activated, forward the data service request to the at least one service handler circuit based on the determined priority level of the data service request;
• when the at least one service handler circuit has not been activated, the control circuit is to at least:
• request that the at least one service handler circuit be activated, and then forward the data service request to the at least one service handler circuit;
• identify at least a second service handler circuit that has been activated and forward the data service request to the second service handler circuit;
• obtain a response to the data service request from the at least one service handler circuit;
• forward the response to a requesting client;
• and
• update and report the traffic statistics to the orchestrator.
