Abstract
A network load-balancing cluster configured to function as a transparent bridge, by connecting the load-balancing nodes in series rather than in parallel, as is done in prior-art configurations. A load-balancing algorithm and method are disclosed, by which each node in the configuration independently determines whether to process a data packet or pass the data packet along for processing by another node. To support this, load-balancing nodes are equipped with both software and hardware data pass-through capabilities that allow the nodes to pass along data packets that are processed by a different nodes.
