Abstract

See full text

Steering data communications packets for transparent, bump-in-the-wire data processing among multiple service applications; the service applications executing on servers organized in groups, each server in a server group executing an instance of a same service application, including selecting an instance of each of the service applications to process a packet; identifying a server selection value for each packet as a single integer value that yields server selection modulus values that identify each instance of each of the service applications to process the packet; and steering, by the switches in dependence upon the server selection modulus values, each packet to each instance of each of the service applications to process the packet.
