Abstract

See full text

A system includes a processor and memory to execute an application. The application receives feedback from a target regarding ability of a plurality of resources of the target to service requests from one or more clients. The feedback includes a metric indicative of a load of each of the resources. The application calculates weights for the resources based on the feedback. A weight for a resource is based on a product of a first term that determines a maximum difference in probabilities of selection between two resources and a second term including an exponent that is a difference between a current load of the resource and a current minimum load across the resources determined based on the feedback. The application selects, for servicing a request from one of the clients, one of the resources in round robin manner based on the weights to evenly utilize the plurality of resources.
