More Information
Summary:A method for performing load balancing in a distributed computing environment in which subsets of a range of identifiers are mapped to respective ones of a first set of virtual machine instances forming an elastic cluster for a component of a virtualised function, the identifiers representing at least a source and/or destination of a request submitted for the component, the method comprising remapping the range of identifiers, in order to form reassigned subsets of the range of identifiers, to respective ones of a second set of virtual machine instances logically positioned within the cluster according to a predefined rule whereby to minimise data transfer between respective ones of the multiple virtual machine instances of the first and second sets after a capacity change or request for a capacity change of the cluster.
