Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems and methods for intelligent load shedding. More specifically, various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to intelligent load shedding of traffic based on current load state of target capacity. In some embodiments, a domain name resolution request to translate a domain name into an Internet protocol (IP) address can be received at DNS server. A status of each of multiple scaling units mapped to the domain name can be determined. A set of IP addresses (e.g., four IP addresses) corresponding to a subset of the multiple scaling units closest to the requesting device with statuses indicating availability for new traffic can be identified. Then, the set of IP addresses can be sent to the requesting device. The requesting device can the select which IP address to use (e.g., randomly) to route the traffic.
