According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions that are to cause the processor to access a request from a client device, and send the request to a first endpoint, in which the first endpoint is configured to generate a first response to the request. The instructions are further to cause the processor to receive the first response from the first endpoint, in which the first response includes redirect information for the request, select, based upon the redirect information, a second endpoint that is configured to generate a second response to the request, send the request to the selected second endpoint, receive the second response from the second endpoint, and send a final response to the client device, the final response including information included in both the first response and the second response.

Redirection of client requests to multiple endpoints

A system includes a processor and memory to execute an application. The application receives feedback from a target regarding ability of a plurality of resources of the target to service requests from one or more clients. The feedback includes a metric indicative of a load of each of the resources. The application calculates weights for the resources based on the feedback. A weight for a resource is based on a product of a first term that determines a maximum difference in probabilities of selection between two resources and a second term including an exponent that is a difference between a current load of the resource and a current minimum load across the resources determined based on the feedback. The application selects, for servicing a request from one of the clients, one of the resources in round robin manner based on the weights to evenly utilize the plurality of resources.
