Abstract
A system and method for load balancing using a rendezvous hashing load balancer. The method includes generating a lookup table, the lookup table having cells that define a row and a column, wherein each of the row of the lookup table corresponds to an index, and each of the column corresponding to an identifier of a resource of a plurality of resources towards which the load balancer provides access, generating, for each of the cells, a first hash result based on an index of the each of the cells, and a corresponding resource identifier, each of the corresponding resource identifier associated with a unique resource of the plurality of resources, sorting the column of the lookup table for each of the row, based on the first hash result, and storing the sorted lookup table in a memory of the load balancer.
