Abstract:
Rendezvous Hashing also known as Highest Random Weight (HRW) has been
used in many load balancing applications where the central problem is
how to map an object to as server such that the mapping is uniform
and also minimally affected by the change in the server set.
Recently, it has found use in DF election algorithms in the EVPN
context and load balancing using DMZ. This draft deals with the
problem of achieving load balancing with minimal disruption when the
servers have different weights. It provides an algorithm to do so
and also describes a few use-case scenarios where this algorithmic
technique can apply.
