Distributed Load Balancer State Synchronization via Atomic RMC

The patent divides the centralized load balancer into multiple distributed service engines that operate independently across different nodes. Each service engine maintains its own state information locally, eliminating the single point of failure while distributing the data management function across the network rather than concentrating it in one centralized location.

The patent segments the load balancing function across multiple distributed service engines, each handling connections locally without requiring all traffic to pass through a single centralized point. This distribution eliminates the network bottleneck that would exist in a centralized architecture where all connection decisions must converge at one location.

The patent employs copying by having multiple service engines maintain local copies of load balancing state information. Instead of requiring complex real-time synchronization across all nodes, each service engine keeps its own copy of the state data, which simplifies the distributed system architecture while maintaining reliability through redundancy.

The patent uses copying by having each service engine maintain a local copy of load balancing state information. This approach improves network throughput by allowing parallel processing at multiple nodes while avoiding the complexity of centralized coordination. The local copies are updated independently based on local events, eliminating the need for complex global synchronization mechanisms.
