URL Parsing Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. URL parsing is a function of traffic management and load-balancing products that scan URLs to determine how to forward traffic across different links or into different servers. A URL includes a protocol identifier (http, for Web traffic) and a resource name, such as www.microsoft.com. The first component could be used to direct traffic to Web servers (as opposed to FTP or other servers). The resource is the added dimension that gives URL parsing an advantage over products that evaluate only layer 4 information (IP address and port). This topic is covered further under "Load Balancing." Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
