A first network device may configure a high-availability cluster associated with a network that includes the first network device and a second network device. The first network device may identify a plurality of devices communicatively coupled to the network and determine a set of tasks for the plurality of devices. The first network device may queue the set of tasks in a task queue that is accessible to the second network device. The second network device may perform a first task and the first network device may perform a second task of the set of tasks. The first network device may receive first result information that is associated with a performance of the first task. The first network device may determine a result associated with performing the second task. The first network device may synchronize the first result information and the second result information with the second network device.

Load balancing in a high-availability cluster

In general, the invention is directed to techniques for scheduling resource access within an intermediate network device. For example, as described herein, a device receives packets for a plurality of sessions that include application-layer data for the sessions. The device determines a weight for each of the plurality of sessions and, during periods of resource congestion, selects one or more sessions for additional resource allocation based on the respective weights of the sessions. The device allocates additional memory resources to selected sessions to enable further buffering of application-layer data such that the device may apply the service to multiple sessions concurrently despite the resource congestion.
