Abstract
A method for distributing load in a network of processing nodes, wherein the network includes a requesting node, and a set of external processing nodes. The method includes sending an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message to each external processing node, classifying each external processing node as being either a responding or a non-responding node based on its response time, identifying a responding node that has the capability to fulfill a video processing request, determining first and second sets of excluded responding nodes, selecting the identified node for fulfilling the video processing request, when the identified node does not form a part of the first and second sets of excluded responding nodes, sending a transmission package from the requesting node to the selected identified node for processing, and receiving a binary response from the selected node.
