Patent attributes
A method and system for selecting a server load balancer (SLB) for processing requests associated with a client are provided. The method may commence with receiving a Domain Name System (DNS) request from a client DNS server associated with the client. The method may include determining a geolocation of the client. The method may continue with receiving a time delay record including a round trip time (RTT) between the client and each of pluralities of SLBs and a geolocation of each SLB. The method may include matching the geolocation of the client and the geolocation of each of the pluralities of SLBs. The method may include selecting SLBs having the geolocation that matches the geolocation of the client. The method may further include selecting, from the SLBs, an SLB having a lowest RTT and sending a DNS response comprising network data of the selected SLB to the client DNS server.
