Systems, methods, and computer program products for transaction based load balancing

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for transaction based load balancing, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

• processing, by the computer-based system, a first plurality of data packets from a streaming protocol in a communication session to assemble a first transaction;
• processing, by the computer-based system, a second plurality of packets from the streaming protocol to assemble a second transaction;
• selecting, by the computer-based system, a first server from a plurality of servers to process the first transaction;
• selecting, by the computer-based system, a second server from the plurality of servers to process the second transaction, wherein the selecting the first server and the selecting the second server comprises selecting the first server and selecting the second server based on a round-robin distribution of the plurality of servers and a workload on the plurality of servers;
• transmitting, by the computer-based system, the first transaction to the first selected server;
• and
• transmitting, by the computer-based system, the second transaction to the second selected server.

A system comprising:

• a processor for transaction based load balancing,
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,
• the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• processing, by the processor, a first plurality of data packets from a streaming protocol in a communication session to assemble a first transaction;
• processing, by the processor, a second plurality of packets from the streaming protocol to assemble a second transaction;
• selecting, by the processor, a first server from a plurality of servers to process the first transaction;
• selecting, by the processor, a second server from the plurality of servers to process the second transaction, wherein the selecting the first server and the selecting the second server comprises selecting the first server and selecting the second server based on a round-robin distribution of the plurality of servers and a workload on the plurality of servers;
• transmitting, by the processor, the first transaction to the first selected server;
• and
• transmitting, by the processor, the second transaction to the second selected server.
