Method, device and computer program product for managing network system
Techniques for managing a network system are disclosed. For example, a method comprises: receiving, at a network adapter, an access request from a client, the access request including first header information and first payload information; transmitting the first header information to a load balancing server associated with the network adapter; receiving the updated first header information from the load balancing server, wherein the updated first header information is determined by the load balancing server based on the received first header information and an identifier of the load balancing server, and wherein the updated first header information indicates a destination server to which the access request is to be transmitted; and, generating, based on the updated first header information and the first payload information, an updated access request. Accordingly, the processing capability of load balancing servers and the performance of load balancing servers in a network system may be improved effectively.

generating, based on the updated first header information and the first payload information, an updated access request;
wherein transmitting the first header information to the load balancing server comprises:
removing the first payload information from the access request to obtain a modified access request, the modified access request including the first header information and an indicator representing the removed first payload information; and
transmitting the modified access request to the load balancing server; and
wherein generating the updated access request comprises:
obtaining, from the load balancing server, a correspondence between the load balancing server and the client; and
determining, from a set of stored payload information and based on the correspondence, the first payload information corresponding to the updated first header information.

transmitting the second header information to the load balancing server;
receiving the updated second header information from the load balancing server, wherein the updated second header information is determined by the load balancing server based on the received second header information and the identifier of the load balancing server, and wherein the updated second header information indicates the client to which the response is to be transmitted; and
generating, based on the updated second header information and the second payload information, an updated response.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
obtaining, from the load balancing server, a correspondence between the load balancing server and the client; and
determining, from a set of stored payload information and based on the correspondence, the second payload information corresponding to the updated second header information.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access request comprises a predefined format; and
wherein generating the updated access request comprises maintaining the predefined format.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein generating the updated access request comprises setting, by a packet regenerator module, the indicator, the indicator replacing the removed first payload information.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein setting the indicator includes assigning, by the packet regenerator module, a value corresponding to zero to the indicator representing removal of all data of the first payload information from the modified access request.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the access request comprises a packet having a header field with the first header information and a payload field with the first payload information; and
wherein generating the updated access request comprises replacing the payload field with the indicator.
10. A method of managing a network system, comprising:
receiving, from a network adapter, first header information in an access request from a client, the access request comprising the first header information and first payload information;
updating the first header information based on the received first header information and an identifier of a load balancing server associated with the network adapter, the updated first header information indicating a destination server to which the access request is to be transmitted and excluding the first payload information; and
transmitting the updated first header information to the network adapter to enable the network to generate an updated access request based on the updated first header information and the first payload information in the access request.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
generating a correspondence between the load balancing server and the client; and
transmitting the correspondence to the network adapter.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein updating the first header information comprises:
obtaining an identifier of the client from the first header information; and
replacing the identifier of the client with the identifier of the load balancing server.
13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving, from the network adapter, second header information in a response to the access request from the destination server;
updating the second header information based on the received second header information and the identifier of the load balancing server, the updated second header information indicating the client to which the response is to be transmitted; and
transmitting the updated second header information to the network adapter such that the network adapter generates an updated response based on the updated second header information and second payload information in the response.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
obtaining a correspondence between the load balancing server and the client; and
transmitting the correspondence to the network adapter such that the network adapter determines, from a set of stored payload information and based on the correspondence, the second payload information corresponding to the updated second header information.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein transmitting the updated first header information to the network adapter is performed such that the network adapter combines the updated first header information and the first payload information to generate the updated access request.
16. A device for managing a network system, comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory coupled to at least one of the one or more processers; and
computer program instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the device to execute acts, the acts comprising:
