Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer application technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for communicating with a proxy cluster. Background Technology

[0002] Large-scale physical machine or virtual clusters often require load balancing technology to achieve balanced and consistent cluster services and avoid localized overload issues. Currently, Linux Virtual Servers (LVS) are commonly used for load balancing of large-scale physical machines or virtual clusters. Operating within a Layer 4 network model, LVS provides high-performance, highly available cluster load balancing services and features simple configuration and diverse operating modes. LVS offers multiple operating modes, including Direct Routing (DR), tunneling, and route forwarding. In DR mode, client access requests are sent to the Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) module. The VIP module then determines the Real Server (RS) to handle the access request according to the load balancing algorithm configured in LVS, and the destination address of the access request data packet is modified to the address of the determined RS.

[0003] However, with the application of microservices, the service architecture of server clusters has become more complex. The existing LVS DR mode only allows external nodes to access services within the service cluster, but there are limitations on access between service clusters belonging to the same LVS architecture. Figure 1 The different servers within the service cluster are load balanced through LVS. LVS can proxy the load balancing of cluster service A and cluster service B. When cluster service A accesses cluster service B through LVS, due to the LVS load balancing mechanism, the access request of service cluster A will be returned to service cluster A by LVS, and will not be processed by service cluster B before being fed back to service cluster A. The service clusters proxied by LVS cannot communicate with each other through LVS. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a communication method for a proxy cluster to solve the communication problem between service clusters with the same load balancing proxy. Without changing the service cluster structure, it improves the service cluster's ability to handle complex service architectures, enhances the availability of the service cluster, and improves the user experience.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for communicating with a proxy cluster is provided, wherein the method includes:

[0006] Obtain the same-proxy communication request from the first service cluster, wherein the same-proxy communication request includes at least an internal virtual address;

[0007] The network address of the second service cluster that processes the same proxy request is determined based on the preset address information table and the internal virtual address.

[0008] The same-proxy communication request is transmitted to the second service cluster for processing based on the network address.

[0009] This application embodiment uses a preset address information table and internal virtual addresses to process proxy requests without introducing additional equipment. This reduces the cost of communication between service clusters, assists in communication and interaction between service clusters, helps to realize complex service cluster architectures, improves the availability of service clusters, and thus enhances the user experience.

[0010] Furthermore, in some application embodiments, it also includes: determining that the second service cluster and the first service cluster belong to the same load balancing agent based on the network segment to which the internal virtual address belongs.

[0011] This application embodiment determines that the first service cluster and the second service cluster belong to the same load balancing proxy by determining the network segment, thereby preventing requests from being routed to external service clusters and improving the security of request processing.

[0012] Furthermore, in some application embodiments, determining the network address of the second service cluster processing the same proxy request based on a preset address information table and the internal virtual address includes:

[0013] Extract the internal virtual address within the same proxy communication request;

[0014] Determine at least one internal service cluster corresponding to the internal virtual address and the real network address of the internal service cluster according to the preset address information table;

[0015] According to the preset load balancing rules, the second service cluster that will handle the same proxy communication request is determined within the at least one internal service cluster, and the real network address corresponding to the second service cluster is used as the network address.

[0016] This application embodiment reduces the configuration difficulty of the address information table by setting the internal service cluster and the real network address corresponding to the internal virtual address in the preset address information table, which facilitates the management of access relationships within the service cluster. By selecting a second service cluster within the internal service cluster to handle the same proxy communication request through load balancing rules, unified access management between different service clusters can be achieved, avoiding the problem of excessive local load within the service cluster and enhancing the robustness of the service cluster.

[0017] Furthermore, in some application embodiments, the preset load balancing rules include at least one of the following: minimum connection dynamic scheduling rule, minimum expected delay dynamic scheduling rule, never queue scheduling rule, and local minimum connection scheduling rule.

[0018] In this embodiment, different load balancing rules are used to determine the second service cluster for handling the same proxy communication request, which can improve the matching degree between the second service cluster and the same proxy communication request, and improve the processing efficiency of the same proxy communication request.

[0019] Furthermore, in some application embodiments, transmitting the same-proxy communication request to the second service cluster for processing based on the network address includes:

[0020] Parse the data packets of the same agent communication request to determine the destination Internet Protocol address field and the destination Media Access Control address field;

[0021] Update the Internet Protocol address and Media Access Control address of the real server in the network address to the Internet Protocol address field and the destination Media Access Control address field of the same proxy communication request;

[0022] The updated data packet is transmitted to the second service cluster so that the second service cluster can process the same-proxy communication request.

[0023] This application embodiment modifies the data packets of communication requests with the same proxy by using the network address, which can achieve accurate transmission of data packets, prevent communication requests with the same proxy from failing to be transmitted to the second service cluster, improve the accuracy of communication within the service cluster, and solve the problem that service clusters belonging to the same load balancing proxy cannot communicate.

[0024] Furthermore, in some application embodiments, the internal virtual address of the internal service cluster is configured in the preset address information table, wherein the internal virtual address is a one-way virtual address.

[0025] In this embodiment of the application, by dynamically configuring the internal virtual address in the preset address information table, the difficulty of updating the service cluster system can be reduced, so that the internal cluster access can still be realized based on the preset address information table after the service cluster system is updated. The one-way virtual address in the preset address information table can improve the accuracy of communication control, prevent communication conflicts caused by virtual addresses, and improve the security of communication within the service cluster.

[0026] Furthermore, in some application embodiments, the network segment is different from the network segment to which the virtual address corresponding to the external cluster belongs.

[0027] This application embodiment isolates the internal service cluster that processes same-proxy communication requests from the external cluster by setting up network segments, preventing internal communication requests from flowing into the external cluster, and can further improve the security of same-proxy communication request transmission.

[0028] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a communication device for a proxy cluster is provided, wherein the device includes:

[0029] The request acquisition module is used to acquire communication requests from the same proxy of the first service cluster, wherein the same proxy communication request includes at least an internal virtual address;

[0030] The cluster determination module is used to determine the network address of the second service cluster that processes the same proxy request based on a preset address information table and the internal virtual address.

[0031] The request forwarding module is used to transmit the same proxy communication request to the second service cluster for processing based on the network address.

[0032] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising:

[0033] At least one processor; and

[0034] A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,

[0035] The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor, which enables the at least one processor to perform the same-agent cluster communication method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the same-agent cluster communication method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] The technical solution of this application embodiment obtains the same-proxy communication request of the first service cluster, determines the network address of the second service cluster that processes the same-proxy communication request based on the preset address information table and the internal virtual address of the same-proxy communication request, and sends the same-proxy communication request to the second service cluster for processing according to the network address. This application embodiment realizes communication between service clusters belonging to the same proxy through the preset address information table and the internal virtual address, without the need to introduce additional equipment, reducing the cost of communication between service clusters, realizing complex architecture of service clusters, thereby improving the availability of service clusters and enhancing the user experience.

[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0048] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0049] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method between proxy clusters according to an embodiment of this application. This embodiment is applicable to information communication between service clusters belonging to the same load balancer. The method can be executed by a proxy cluster communication device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. This device can be configured within the load balancer of the proxy load balancer, which may include a server or a server cluster. Figure 2 As shown, the method provided in this application embodiment specifically includes:

[0050] Step 110: Obtain the same-proxy communication request from the first service cluster, wherein the same-proxy communication request includes at least the internal virtual address.

[0051] The first service cluster can be a service cluster proxied by the load balancer. This first service cluster may have information exchange needs with other service clusters and can consist of one or more servers. A peer-to-peer communication request can be a request to facilitate information exchange between service clusters belonging to the same load balancer. This request can be generated according to existing communication protocols or by a custom communication protocol. The internal virtual address can be a virtual address used by the service cluster for communication. This internal virtual address can include a VIP address or a Media Access Control Address (MAC), and can be configured through the load balancer.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first service cluster can send a peer-to-peer communication request to a load balancer, which can receive the request. This peer-to-peer request can be used by the first service cluster to access other service clusters belonging to the load balancer. The peer-to-peer communication request can be generated according to specified communication rules and may include at least an internal virtual address. This internal virtual address can point to other service clusters processing the peer-to-peer communication request within the load balancer. In some embodiments, the peer-to-peer communication request can be a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) message, and the internal virtual address can serve as the destination IP address of the peer-to-peer communication request.

[0053] Step 120: Determine the network address of the second service cluster that handles the same proxy request based on the preset address information table and the internal virtual address.

[0054] The preset address information table can be a table storing internal virtual addresses and the real addresses of the server cluster, and there can be a corresponding relationship between the internal virtual addresses and the real addresses of the server cluster within the preset address information table. The second service cluster can be a service cluster that communicates with the first service cluster. In some embodiments, the first and second service clusters can implement different business services, while in other embodiments, the first and second service clusters can be different physical machines or virtual machines implementing the same business service. The network address can be the real address for accessing the second service cluster, and this network address can include an IP address or a MAC address.

[0055] In this embodiment, the network address corresponding to the internal virtual address can be looked up in a preset information table. The service cluster corresponding to that network address can be used as a second service cluster to handle the same proxy request. It is understood that one internal virtual address in the preset information table can correspond to multiple network addresses, and one or more service clusters corresponding to multiple network addresses can be selected as the second service cluster. In some embodiments, the preset information table can be a routing information table configured in the virtual network interface card of the load balancer, and the preset information table can store the routing information of the service requests processed by the virtual network interface card.

[0056] Step 130: Transmit the communication request to the agent to the second service cluster for processing based on the network address.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, the load balancer can transmit the same-proxy communication request to the second service cluster according to the determined network address of the second service cluster, and the second service cluster can process the same-proxy communication request. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the transmission process of the same-proxy communication request can be implemented based on the load balancer's balancing algorithm, which can ensure load balancing within the service cluster.

[0058] In this embodiment, by receiving a communication request from the same agent of a first service cluster, a second service cluster for processing the communication request is determined using a preset address information table and the internal virtual address of the communication request, as well as the network address of the second service cluster. The communication request is then sent to the second service cluster for processing according to the network address. This embodiment achieves communication between service clusters belonging to the same agent through a preset address information table and an internal virtual address, eliminating the need for additional equipment, reducing the cost of communication between service clusters, enabling complex service cluster architectures, thereby improving the availability of service clusters and enhancing the user experience.

[0059] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for communicating with a proxy cluster according to an embodiment of this application. This embodiment is a refinement based on the aforementioned embodiments, distinguishing the processing direction of proxy communication requests by judging the internal virtual address network segment, thus preventing internal access from affecting external access. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The method provided in this application specifically includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 210: Obtain the same-proxy communication request from the first service cluster, wherein the same-proxy communication request includes at least the internal virtual address.

[0061] Step 220: Determine that the second service cluster and the first service cluster belong to the same load balancing agent based on the network segment to which the internal virtual address belongs.

[0062] The network segment can be the network segment to which the configured internal virtual address belongs within the virtual network interface card of the load balancer, and the service clusters proxied by the load balancer can all be configured to the same network segment.

[0063] In this embodiment, the internal virtual address within the same proxy communication request can be determined by judging the network segment to which the internal virtual address belongs. This determines whether the internal virtual address belongs to the virtual address used within the service cluster of the load balancer proxy. If it does, it can be determined that the first server cluster and the communicating second service cluster belong to the same load balancer proxy. If not, the same proxy communication request is an external communication request and cannot be transmitted within the service cluster of the load balancer proxy. By judging the network segment of the internal virtual address, internal requests and external requests are isolated, preventing the transmission of internal requests from affecting the transmission of external requests.

[0064] Step 230: Extract the internal virtual address within the same proxy communication request.

[0065] In this embodiment of the application, an internal virtual address can be extracted from the same-proxy communication request, and the internal virtual address can be located in the destination address field of the same-proxy communication request.

[0066] Step 240: Determine at least one internal service cluster corresponding to the internal virtual address and the real network address of the internal service cluster according to the preset address information table.

[0067] The internal service cluster can be a service cluster proxied by the load balancer, and the internal service cluster can have a corresponding relationship with the internal virtual address in a preset address information table. The real network address can be the network address of each internal service cluster, and this network address can be used to access the internal service cluster.

[0068] In this embodiment, an internal service cluster that has a pairing relationship with an internal virtual address, as well as the real network address of the internal service cluster, can be found in a preset address information table. This preset address information table can associate and store the identification information of the internal virtual address with the identification information of the internal service cluster. This identification information may include the service cluster name, the real network address of the service cluster, etc. It is understood that one internal virtual address in the preset address information table can be associated and stored with multiple internal service clusters, and there can be multiple internal service clusters that are identified as corresponding to the internal virtual address.

[0069] Step 250: Determine the second service cluster for handling the same-proxy communication request within at least one internal service cluster according to the preset load balancing rules, and use the real network address of the corresponding second service cluster as the network address.

[0070] Among them, the preset load balancing rules can be the rules configured in the load balancer for load balancing in the internal service cluster. The preset load balancing rules can save the business distribution balance among the internal service clusters and prevent the local load in the internal service cluster from being too large, which would cause service problems.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, a pre-configured preset load balancing rule can be obtained. According to the preset load balancing rule, a second service cluster that handles the same proxy communication request can be selected from one or more internal service clusters corresponding to the internal virtual address. The real network address of the determined second service cluster can be used as the network address for information transmission within the cluster.

[0072] In some application embodiments, the preset load balancing rules include at least one of the following: minimum connection dynamic scheduling rule, minimum expected delay dynamic scheduling rule, never queue scheduling rule, and local minimum connection scheduling rule.

[0073] In this embodiment, the preset load balancing rules configured within the load balancer may include one or more of the following: least connections dynamic scheduling rules, minimum expected latency dynamic scheduling rules, never-queue scheduling rules, and local least connections scheduling rules. By invoking these preset load balancing rules, balanced service distribution within the internal service cluster can be achieved. It is understood that the preset load balancing rules configured in the load balancer may include, but are not limited to, the aforementioned elements.

[0074] Step 260: Parse the data packet of the same agent communication request to determine the destination Internet Protocol address field and the destination Media Access Control address field.

[0075] The data packet can be a data unit that is requested to be transmitted by the same agent. The data packet may include a destination Internet Protocol address field and a destination Media Access Control address field.

[0076] In this embodiment, the received peer-to-peer communication request can be parsed, and the positions of the destination Internet Protocol address (IPA) field and the destination Media Access Control (MAC) field in the peer-to-peer communication request can be determined. In some embodiments, the peer-to-peer communication request can be transmitted in the form of TCP packets, and the header of the TCP packets can be parsed to determine the positions of the IPA field and the MAC field in the peer-to-peer communication request.

[0077] Step 270: Update the Internet Protocol address and Media Access Control address of the real server in the network address to the Internet Protocol address field and the destination Media Access Control address field of the same proxy communication request.

[0078] In this embodiment, the network address of the second service cluster may include the real server Internet Protocol address and the real server Media Access Control address. The information of the Internet Protocol address field and the destination Media Access Control address field determined in the same proxy communication request can be updated to the real server Internet Protocol address and the real server Media Access Control address in the network address, so that the same proxy communication request can be transmitted to the second service cluster.

[0079] Step 280: Transmit the updated data packet to the second service cluster so that the second service cluster can process the communication request with the agent.

[0080] In this embodiment of the application, after all data packets of the same agent communication request are updated to the network address of the second service cluster, the updated data packets can be transmitted to the second service cluster, thereby realizing the transmission of the same agent communication request, so that the second service cluster can process the same agent communication request, thereby realizing the response of the second service cluster to the first service cluster.

[0081] In this embodiment, by obtaining the same-proxy communication request generated by the first service cluster, and confirming that the first service cluster and the second service cluster handling the same-proxy communication request belong to the same load balancing proxy according to the network segment of the internal dotted line address in the same-proxy communication request, the internal virtual address in the same-proxy communication request is extracted, and the internal service cluster corresponding to the internal virtual address and the real network address corresponding to the internal service cluster are searched in a preset address information table. According to the preset load balancing rules, the second service cluster handling the same-proxy communication request is determined in each internal service cluster, and the real network address of the second service cluster is used as the network address. The data packet of the same-proxy communication request is parsed to determine the destination Internet Protocol address field and the destination Media Access Control address field. The real server Internet Protocol address and the real server Media Access Control address of the network address are updated to the above fields, and the updated data packet is transmitted to the second service cluster so that the second service cluster can handle the same-proxy communication request. This realizes communication between service clusters belonging to the same proxy without introducing additional equipment, reducing the cost of communication between service clusters, realizing complex service cluster architecture, thereby improving the availability of service clusters and enhancing the user experience.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, the communication method with the same agent cluster provided in this application further includes:

[0083] Configure the internal virtual address of the internal service cluster in the preset address information table. The internal virtual address is a one-way virtual address.

[0084] Among them, a one-way virtual address can be a virtual address that can only perform one-way transmission. For example, a one-way virtual address configured in service cluster A can be used by service cluster B to transmit data to service cluster A. When service cluster A transmits data to service cluster B, the above-mentioned one-way virtual address cannot be used, and another one-way virtual address needs to be used.

[0085] In this embodiment of the application, a preset address information table can be configured in advance. Each internal service cluster can have its own corresponding internal virtual address. The internal virtual address configured in the preset address information table can be a one-way virtual address. The internal service cluster can only use this one-way virtual address to transmit to the corresponding internal virtual address.

[0086] In other application embodiments, the network segment is different from the network segment to which the virtual address corresponding to the external cluster belongs.

[0087] In this embodiment of the application, the load balancer executing the method of this embodiment can also perform access scheduling from the external cluster to the internal service cluster. This scheduling process can also be implemented by virtual addresses. However, the network segments of the virtual addresses used for communication between the external cluster and the internal virtual addresses are different, which makes it easier for the load balancer to determine the processing method of the access request and prevent interference between internal and external access requests.

[0088] In some embodiments, Figure 4 This is an example diagram of a communication method with a proxy cluster according to an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 4 The load balancing service cluster can be implemented by LVS. This load balancing service cluster can simultaneously proxy the load balancing of service cluster A and service cluster B. For external access links, the load balancing service cluster can provide a first direct server (DS), which can provide routing and forwarding functions for external access links. The load balancing service cluster can also provide a second DS for internal access links, which can provide routing and forwarding functions for internal access links. Internal access links can refer to the data access links between service cluster A and service cluster B proxied by the load balancing service cluster. Service cluster A and service cluster B can each be composed of one or more RSs.

[0089] based on Figure 4 The access link shown illustrates that when service cluster A needs to communicate with service cluster B, the communication method between service cluster A and service cluster B can be as follows: Figure 5As shown, when service cluster A requests services from service cluster B, the same-proxy communication request sent by service cluster A can access the second DS through the internal VIP of the same-proxy communication request. The second DS can parse the same-proxy communication request based on the internal VIP, extracting the source IP address, destination IP address, and destination MAC address from the same-proxy communication request. Then, it can match service cluster B according to one or more pre-configured load balancing policies to determine the RS service address. The destination IP address and destination MAC address in the same-proxy communication request can be updated according to the RS service address, so that the updated destination IP address and destination MAC address of the same-proxy communication request point to the RS service address. The same-proxy communication request can then be forwarded to the RS of service cluster B, allowing the RS to process the same-proxy communication request. Furthermore, after processing the same-proxy communication request, the RS can modify the IP address of the same-proxy communication request, thereby responding to the request from service cluster A. This response process can be similar to the request process type. Service cluster B can send the response information to the second DS through its internal VIP. The second DS can then parse the response information based on the internal VIP, extracting the source IP address, destination IP address, and destination MAC address. It's understood that in this case, the source IP address, destination IP address, and destination MAC address of the response information can be exactly the opposite of those in the same proxy communication request. The source IP address is the IP address of the RS in service cluster B, while the destination IP address and destination MAC address can be the IP address and MAC address of the RS in service cluster A. The second DS can also use one or more load balancing strategies to select one or more RS service addresses within service cluster A, modify the response information according to the selected RS service address, and then send the modified response information back to the RS in service cluster A.

[0090] And based on Figure 4 The illustrated access link allows an external service cluster to communicate with an internal service cluster. Communication requests can be sent to the first DS via a VIP. It's understood that this VIP belongs to a different network segment than the VIP accessing the second DS. Communication requests can only access the first DS through the VIP. The first DS only handles communication requests from the external cluster. The first DS can use load balancing to select the internal RS (Real Server) containing the communication request. The first DS can then forward the communication request to the internal RS for processing, thus enabling communication between the external and internal service clusters. In this embodiment, the VIP for external communication requests that can access the first DS can be assigned to a different network segment than the VIP for internal communication requests. This ensures that internal access requests access the second DS, while external access requests access the first DS, preventing interference between internal and external access requests and improving the security of inter-cluster communication.

[0091] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first DS and the second DS can be located in the same physical device. This physical device can be configured with two sets of preset address information tables. The first set of preset address information tables is associated with the external VIP, and the second set of preset address information tables is associated with the internal VIP. When the physical device receives a communication request, it can determine the network segment to which the VIP of the communication request belongs. If the network segment belongs to the external VIP, the RS that handles the communication request is determined using the first set of preset address information tables. If the network segment belongs to the internal VIP, the RS that handles the communication request is determined using the second set of preset address information tables. The communication request can then be forwarded to the corresponding RS for processing, thereby ensuring compatibility between external service clusters accessing internal service clusters and internal service clusters accessing each other.

[0092] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a communication device for a proxy cluster provided according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device includes: a request acquisition module 301, a cluster determination module 302, and a request forwarding module 303.

[0093] The request acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the same proxy communication request of the first service cluster, wherein the same proxy communication request includes at least an internal virtual address.

[0094] The cluster determination module 302 is used to determine the network address of the second service cluster that processes the same proxy request based on a preset address information table and the internal virtual address.

[0095] The request forwarding module 303 is used to transmit the same proxy communication request to the second service cluster for processing according to the network address.

[0096] In this embodiment, the request acquisition module receives a communication request from the same agent of the first service cluster. The cluster determination module uses a preset address information table and the internal virtual address of the same agent communication request to determine the second service cluster that will process the same agent communication request, as well as the network address of the second service cluster. The request forwarding module sends the same agent communication request to the second service cluster for processing according to the network address. This embodiment realizes communication between service clusters belonging to the same agent through the preset address information table and the internal virtual address, without the need to introduce additional equipment, reducing the cost of communication between service clusters, enabling complex service cluster architectures, thereby improving the availability of service clusters and enhancing the user experience.

[0097] In some application embodiments, it further includes: a network segment determination module, used to determine that the second service cluster and the first service cluster belong to the same load balancing agent based on the network segment to which the internal virtual address belongs.

[0098] In other embodiments, the network segment is different from the network segment to which the virtual address corresponding to the external cluster belongs.

[0099] In some embodiments, the cluster determination module 302 includes:

[0100] The address extraction unit is used to extract the internal virtual address within the same proxy communication request.

[0101] The address lookup unit is used to determine, according to the preset address information table, at least one internal service cluster corresponding to the internal virtual address and the real network address of the internal service cluster.

[0102] The cluster determination unit is configured to determine the second service cluster that will process the same-proxy communication request within the at least one internal service cluster according to a preset load balancing rule, and to use the real network address corresponding to the second service cluster as the network address.
