Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to leveraging DNS (Domain Name Service) based client-side load balancing that directs IoT devices (clients) to network load balancer IP addresses. A management system obtains socket usage information about publicly accessible network load balancers. The system then uses socket thresholding information to determine whether individual network load balancers are exhausting a fixed set of available sockets. The system can then implement remedial actions to reduce individual network load balance presence to ensure that the IoT devices are equally distributed across all first layer network load balancers to maximize usage of capacity.
