Abstract
A system for load balancing, the system includes a LAC, a contact LNS, and a plurality of load balancing LNSs. The LAC includes a contact LNS address, the contact LNS address specifies the address of a contact LNS. The contact LNS is communicatively coupled to the LAC and the plurality of load balancing LNSs are communicatively coupled to the contact LNS and to the LAC. The LAC sends a message to the contact LNS, the message informing the LAC of its availability and the contact LNS sends a response message containing IP address of a selected one of the plurality of load balancing LNSs to which the LAC should establish a session.
