Patent attributes
Systems and methods are provided for decentralized network address control, including a computer-implemented method for decentralized load balancing for a plurality of network resources. The method can include determining a load characteristic for the first network resource. The load characteristic can be determined by a first load balancing application associated with a first network resource. The method can further include sending a report to a network address resolution resource, based on the determined load characteristic. The network address resolution resource can be configured to also receive reports from other load balancing applications associated with other network resources based on determined load characteristics for the other network resources. Both the first network resource and the other network resources can be associated with a common network resource name. The method can further include receiving a request to communicate with the first network resource after sending, and because of sending, the report.
