Abstract

Techniques and systems for server farm load balancing and resource allocation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of load balancing can include: arranging servers into service groups; receiving an access request with information related to a differentiation between the service groups; selecting one of the service groups based on a mapping comparison to the information; and selecting one of the servers within the selected service group based on a hardware utilization comparison. The servers can include GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Gateway Support Node (GGSN) or Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) servers, for example. The information can include an Access Point Name (APN) or Calling Station ID, for example.
