Abstract
A topology-aware load balancing method includes: acquiring load balancing configuration information, determining, based on the configuration information, whether a plurality of backend service endpoints for load balancing are located on different nodes; in response to the backend service endpoints for load balancing being located on different nodes, for each node, regularly issuing a command for polling the backend service endpoints on the node, acquiring topology information of the different nodes, as well as health statuses and a link quality of the backend service endpoints; calculating priorities of the backend service endpoints based on the topology information, the health statuses and the link quality, configuring a service response endpoint for load balancing based on the priorities; in response to at least one of the topology information, the health statuses and the link quality being changed, recalculating priorities of the backend service endpoints, adjusting the service response endpoint based on the priorities.
