摘要: A method, switch, and/or computer program product routes IP packet flows. An Ethernet switch receives an flow. Each of the packets in flow has a header that contains same 5-tuple. load balancing control engine determines whether servers group are balanced their utilization according to 5-tuple redirection rules contained engine.
