| 20090077562 | Client Affinity in Distributed Load Balancing Systems - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to client affinity in distributed load balancing systems. In aspects, a request from a requester is sent to each server of a cluster. Each server determines whether it has affinity to the requester. If so, the server responds to the request. Otherwise, if the request would normally be load balanced to the server, the server queries the other servers in the cluster to determine whether any of them have affinity to the requester. If one of them does, the server drops the request and allows the other server to respond to the request; otherwise, the server responds to the request. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090327798 | Cluster Shared Volumes - Described is a technology by which a storage volume is shared by cluster nodes of a server cluster. In one implementation, each node includes a redirector that provides shared access to the volume from that node. The redirector routes file system metadata requests from applications and the like through a first (e.g., SMB) communications path to the owning node, and routes file system read and write data to the storage device through a second, high-speed communications path such as direct direct block level I/O. An owning node maintains ownership of the storage device through a persistent reservation mechanism that writes a key to a registration table associated with the storage device. Non-owning nodes write a shared key. The owning node validates the shared keys against cluster membership data, and preempts (e.g., removes) any key deemed not valid. Security mechanisms for controlling access are also described. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100057923 | Maintaining Client Affinity in Network Load Balancing Systems - Described is a technology in a network load balancing system (node cluster), by which client affinity is preserved across cluster configuration changes, including for new connections from a previous client. Each node maintains a list of the clients that are to remain (have affinity, or “stickiness”) with that node, including following bucket redistribution resulting from convergence. Each affinity list is communicated during convergence so that other nodes may build an exception list or lists. Via a node's exception list, the node that owns a bucket corresponding to a client knows of the affinity with another node and thus drops any packets from that client. Affinity may expire, whereby the node having affinity with that client releases it and notifies the node owning the bucket for that client that the client is no longer to be treated as an exception. | 03-04-2010 |
