Abstract

A load balancing system that utilizes a dynamic method for updating a load balancer's pool of targets (e.g., a dynamic method for adding newly available targets to the pool of targets and/or removing from the pool of targets a target that is no longer accepting new connections). Advantageously, this dynamic method does not require periodic monitoring of each of the targets in the pool of targets.
