Abstract
Methods and systems are described for improvements to the use of distributed computer networks. For example, conventional systems may rely on the distribution of network or application traffic across multiple servers and may maintain load balancers to maintain that distribution in an efficient manner. Each load balancer may sit between client devices and backend servers, receiving and then distributing incoming requests to any available server capable of fulfilling them. The load balancers may ensure that no one server is overworked based on the number of processing requests directed to that server, which could degrade performance.
