Efficient Data Forwarding In A Networked Device
A method of stateful load balancing, performed by a storage system is provided. The method includes obtaining a request identifier for a request received by the storage system through a network and calculating a version identifier for provider selection, based on the request identifier. The method includes determining a provider for the request, based on the request identifier and the version identifier, and sending the request to one of a plurality of nodes of the storage system as the determined provider.

- 1. A method, comprising:
obtaining a request identifier for a request received by the storage system through a network; calculating a version identifier for provider selection, based on a first hash executed on the request identifier; determining a provider for the request, based on the request identifier and the version identifier, the determining comprises selecting a second hash function in accordance with the version identifier; and sending the request to one of a plurality of nodes of the storage system as the determined provider.
- 8. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
generating a request identifier for a request received by a storage system through a network; calculating a version identifier for provider selection, based on a first hash executed on the request identifier; determining a provider for the request, based on the request identifier and the version identifier, the determining comprises selecting a second hash function in accordance with the version identifier; and sending the request to the identified one of the plurality of nodes.
- 14. A system, comprising:
a plurality of nodes; and a load balancer, configurable to:
receive a request through a network;
obtain a request identifier;
calculate a version identifier for provider selection, based on a first hash executed on the request identifier;
determine one of the plurality of nodes to be a provider for the request, based on the request identifier and the version identifier, the determining comprises selecting a second hash function in accordance with the version identifier; and
send the request to the one of the plurality of nodes.
