System, method, and computer-readable medium for dynamic device discovery for servers binding to multiple masters

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system, the computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processing system to:

• receive, by a first master controller, a first device discovery beacon from a first control system device;
• determine the beacon includes the device type flag;
• determine a value of the device type flag indicates the first control system device comprises a server configured to bind to multiple master controllers;
• load, by the first master controller, an instance of a device module associated with the first control system device responsive to determining the value;
• receive, by the first master controller, a second device discovery beacon from a second control system device;
• determine the second device discovery beacon does not include the device type flag;
• and
• detect, by the first master controller, a binding notification on a multicast address indicating the second control system device has been bound to another master controller.

A system, comprising:

• a first dynamic physical device that comprises a server configured to bind to multiple master controllers;
• a first master controller communicatively coupled with the first dynamic physical device that comprises a first instance of a dynamic application device corresponding to the first dynamic physical device;
• and
• a second master controller communicatively coupled with the first dynamic physical device that comprises a second instance of the dynamic application device that corresponds to the first dynamic physical device, wherein the first dynamic physical device broadcasts a first device discovery beacon that comprises a device type flag having a value that indicates the first dynamic physical device comprises a server, wherein the first master controller and the second master controller receive the first device discovery beacon, wherein the first master controller loads a first instance of a device module associated with the first dynamic physical device responsive to a determination that the value indicates the first dynamic physical device comprises a server, and wherein the second master controller loads a second instance of the device module responsive to a determination that the value indicates the first dynamic physical device comprises a server, wherein the first master controller detects a binding notification on a multicast address that indicates the second dynamic physical device has been bound to the second master controller.
