LATENCY-BASED ROUTING AND LOAD BALANCING IN A NETWORK
Methods and systems for load balancing are described. A network node may replicate content. A lag time may be determined. A data structure may be generated that comprises the lag time.
1 . A method comprising:
replicating, at a first network node of a plurality of network nodes, content from a second network node of the plurality of network nodes;
determining a first lag time, wherein the first lag time indicates a first length of time for the first network node to completely replicate the content from the second network node;
determining a second lag time, wherein the second lag time indicates a second length of time for a third network node to completely replicate the content from the second network node;
generating a first data structure comprising the first lag time and the second lag time; and
transmitting, to a data manager, the first data structure.
