Abstract

A method of workload balancing, for use in a network 100 having a plurality of nodes 102-110 is described. The network has a plurality of possible routes between at least two of the nodes 102, 104. The method comprises monitoring usage of the network by at least each of the at least two of the plurality of nodes. Data is then recorded regarding the usage of the network. Pattern recognition is performed on the recorded data so as to recognise usage patterns. Responsive to such usage patterns, routes are allocated between at least the at least two of the plurality of nodes. For a node with multiple servers, then server pool balancing is provided in acceptance with usage patterns.
