Transporter Load Balancing

The Transporter load balancing feature allows you to distribute the tasks within a single job among available transporters to maximize data processing speed. The product achieves this by:

• Determining the priority of tasks to be processed by a transporter

• Determining possible data paths for processing each task, that is:

  • Determining the transporters available for a job

  • Measuring transporter proximity

  • Verifying cross-transporter connectivity

  • Determining available transporter load while accounting for a transporter’s existing load, which can include maintenance tasks like repository verification

• Determining a candidate data path for processing the task

• Prioritizing the candidate data path based on transporter round-trip time (RTT) and available load

• Distributing tasks across the candidate data path to evenly load transporters based on task and candidate data path priorities
