SERVER, CLIENT, LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM AND LOAD BALANCING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A load balancing system comprising:
- a plurality of servers to process network traffic; and
a client to transmit a connection request signal to each of the plurality of servers, and to connect to one of the servers transmitting a first received response signal if a response signal corresponding to the connection request signal is received from at least one server from among the plurality of servers.

Abstract
A server, a client, a load balancing system and a load balancing method thereof, the load balancing system including a plurality of servers to process network traffic; and a client to transmit a connection request signal to each of the plurality of servers, and to connect to a server transmitting a first received response signal if a response signal corresponding to the connection request signal is received from at least one server from among the plurality of servers. Therefore, traffic load can be efficiently distributed without a separate load balancer.

9. A client of a load balancing system including a plurality of servers, the client comprising:
-
a network interface to transmit connection request signals to and receive response signals from the plurality of servers; and a controller to control the network interface to transmit the connection request signals to the plurality of servers, and to connect to one of the servers transmitting a first received response signal, if at least one response signal corresponding to the connection request signals is received. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A server of a load balancing system including a client, the server comprising:
-
a network interface to transmit a response signal to and to receive a connection request signal from the client; a computing unit to compute a delay time based on a load state of the server; and a controller to transmit the response signal corresponding to the connection request signal to the client after the computed delay time has elapsed if the connection request signal is received from the client. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
