Abstract
A load balancing system includes: a centralized queue; a pool of resource nodes connected to the centralized queue; one or more processors; and memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: monitor a queue status of the centralized queue to identify a bursty traffic period; calculate an index value for a load associated with the bursty traffic period; select a load balancing strategy based on the index value; distribute the load to the pool of resource nodes based on the load balancing strategy; observe a state of the pool of resource nodes in response to the load balancing strategy; calculate a reward based on the observed state; and adjust the load balancing strategy based on the reward.
