Configurable connection reset for customized load balancing

Abstract:

Examples provide a configurable connection reset system for customized distribution of incoming traffic to a plurality of servers. The connection reset component routes incoming service requests to active servers based on server performance, configurable server failure criteria, user-selected inactive threshold wait time-period for each server and per-client distribution configurations, including server priorities and user-selected distribution methodology or combination of distribution methodologies. A configurable wait time-period is assigned to each inactive server removed from a distribution rotation for the incoming traffic. A next received request to the next available server for the identified client. An inactive server is updated to active status and returned to the distribution rotation after expiration of the configurable wait time-period.
