SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING NETWORK TRAFFIC IN A DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT

A method and system for distributed traffic management, the method comprising receiving an initial communication of a traffic flow at first accelerator system; retrieving message parameters from the initial communication; broadcasting the message parameters to determine a second accelerator system receiving a reply to the initial communication; and pairing the first and the second accelerator system to provide for traffic management. The system including: a first accelerator system having: a packet processor configured to receive an initial communication of a traffic flow; a logic node configured to retrieve message parameters from the initial communication; a trigger module configured to broadcast the message parameters to at least one other accelerator system; wherein the logic node is configured to pair the first accelerator system with a second accelerator system to provide for traffic management of the traffic flow.
