A system and method for load balancing using a rendezvous hashing load balancer. The method includes generating a lookup table, the lookup table having cells that define a row and a column, wherein each of the row of the lookup table corresponds to an index, and each of the column corresponding to an identifier of a resource of a plurality of resources towards which the load balancer provides access, generating, for each of the cells, a first hash result based on an index of the each of the cells, and a corresponding resource identifier, each of the corresponding resource identifier associated with a unique resource of the plurality of resources, sorting the column of the lookup table for each of the row, based on the first hash result, and storing the sorted lookup table in a memory of the load balancer.

Load balancing system and method

A computerized method of delivering popular content of a service delivery apparatus (SDA) in an asymmetrical network topology. The method comprises receiving a first acquisition request for content from a user node (UN) over an upstream data link, the request comprising at least a content identification (CID). An instruction is sent to the UN to redirect content requests to the SDA. A second acquisition request is sent from the SDA to a content source (CS) for the content requested by the first acquisition request, upon determination that the downstream data link between the UN and the CS is inaccessible to the SDA, the request including at least the CID. The content is received by the SDA from the CS. The received content from the SDA is sent to the UN.
