Dynamic Resource Management For Load Balancing In Network Packet Communication Systems

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic resource management for load balancing within network packet communication systems. In part, the disclosed embodiments receive operating performance information associated with processing systems within the packet network communication system, generate sets of load balancing rules based upon the operating performance information to adjust load balancing resources within the network packet communication system, apply the sets of load balancing rules to different load balancers within the network packet communication system, and use the load balancers to determine how packets are distributed within the network packet communication system. In addition, processing system resources can also be adjusted based upon operating performance information received with respect to the processing systems and load balancers. Matrix load balancing can also be used along with the dynamic resource management to facilitate control load balancers within the network packet communication system.
