Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes providing a first mapping between a set of two or more IP addresses and a set of two more servers. The first mapping is embodied in a virtual network layer modifiable by a workload advisor based on a weight recommendation. A plurality of transactions are received from a load balancer. The weight recommendation for the servers is received, where the weight recommendation defines a goal for weighting transactions among the servers. A second mapping, from the two or more IP addresses to the servers, is determined dynamically by the workload advisor, based on the weight recommendation and absent communication between the load balancer and the workload advisor. A second plurality of transactions are received and are routed to the servers through the virtual network layer according to the second mapping.
