ACTIVE APPLICATION RESPONSE DELAY TIME
First Claim
1. A method for load balancing client requests between sites associated with a domain name, the method comprising:
- determining a first active response delay time between a local Domain Name System (DNS) server and a first site;
determining a first application response delay time between the first site and one or more first servers associated with the first site;
compounding the first active response delay time and the first application response delay time to produce a first compounded response delay time;
determining a second active response delay time between the local DNS server and a second site;
determining a second application response delay time between the second site and one or more second servers associated with the second site;
compounding the second active response delay time and the second application response delay time to produce a second compounded response delay time;
comparing the first compounded response delay time and the second compounded response delay time; and
based on the comparison, performing load balancing between the first site and the second site.

Abstract
Provided are methods and systems for load balancing client requests between sites associated with a domain name. A method comprises determining a first active response delay time between a local Domain Name System (DNS) server and a first site. The method further comprises determining a first application response delay time between the first site and one or more first servers associated with the first site. According to the method, the first active response delay time and the first application response delay time are compounded to produce a first compounded response delay time. The method further comprises determining a second active response delay time and a second application response delay for a second site to produce a second compounded response delay time. The first compounded response delay time and the second compounded response delay time are compared to perform load balancing between the first site and the second site.

10. A system for load balancing client requests between sites associated with a domain name, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors operable to; determine a first active response delay time between a local Domain Name System (DNS) server and a first site; determine a first application response delay time between the first site and one or more first servers associated with the first site; compound the first active response delay time and the first application response delay time to produce a first compounded response delay time; determine a second active response delay time between the local DNS server and a second site; determine a second application response delay time between the second site and one or more second servers associated with the second site; compound the second active response delay time and the second application response delay time to produce a second compounded response delay time; compare the first compounded response delay time and the second compounded response delay time; and based on the comparison, perform load balancing between the first site and the second site. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory processor-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a method for load balancing client requests between sites associated with a domain name, the method comprising:
-
determining a first active response delay time between a local Domain Name System (DNS) server and a first site; determining a first application response delay time between the first site and one or more first servers associated with the first site; compounding the first active response delay time and the first application response delay time to produce a first compounded response delay time; determining a second active response delay time between the local DNS server and a second site; determining a second application response delay time between the second site and one or more second servers associated with the second site; compounding the second active response delay time and the second application response delay time to produce a second compounded response delay time; comparing the first compounded response delay time and the second compounded response delay time; and based on the comparison, performing load balancing between the first site and the second site.
