Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present application is directed towards systems and methods for using equal cost multi-path routing for traffic distribution in a cluster environment. Each intermediary device of a cluster may advertise, via a routing protocol to a router, a corresponding internet protocol (IP) address of a virtual server and one or more connection metrics having predetermined values. Upon determining that another intermediary device of the cluster is unavailable, each active device may re-advertise the IP address of the virtual server executing on the intermediary device and the one or more connection metrics with the previously advertised value reduced by a predetermined amount. In some embodiments, each active device may wait a predetermined time period, such as a time period for expiration of routing protocol tables, and then re-advertise the IP address of the virtual server executing on the intermediary device and the one or more connection metrics with the predetermined values.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method of using routes for traffic distribution across a cluster of intermediary devices, the method comprising: (a) advertising, by each intermediary device of a cluster comprising a plurality of intermediary devices, via a routing protocol to a router, a corresponding internet protocol (IP) address of a virtual server executing on each intermediary device with a predetermined number of metrics; (b) determining, by each intermediary device that is active,…
