Abstract
A set of categories are associated to each service of a set of services of a deduplication filesystem hosted across a cluster of nodes. The categories describe loadings on the services. A preliminary identification of a service to which a client request should be redirected is made. Checks are made of the loadings on the service. The checking includes calculating thresholds for the categories, observing current values for the categories, comparing the current values against the thresholds, setting individual weights on the categories based on the comparison, and deriving a final weight for the service based on the individual weights. If the final weight indicates that the service is not overloaded, the request is redirected to the service. If the final weight indicates that the service is overloaded, the checking is iterated over a next service to find a service that is not overloaded.
