Abstract
A system for load management in a shared address networking architecture includes a primary point-of-presence (POP) group of servers configured to serve content of a domain and that are each reachable at an address of a first IP address block and a secondary PoP group of servers configured to serve the content of the domain and that are each reachable at an address of a second IP address block. The system further includes a traffic management agent configured to reduce a total volume of incoming requests received by the primary PoP group for a period of time following a return of a first server in the primary PoP group of servers to an online state by selectively directing a first percentage of the incoming requests to the second IP address block instead of the first IP address block.
