STATELESS LOAD-BALANCING ACROSS MULTIPLE TUNNELS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for load-balancing are disclosed. An access point receives a communication request and an identifier from a wireless device. The access point determines a plurality of potential endpoints and selects at least one preferred potential endpoint for the wireless device, based on the identifier and the plurality of potential endpoints. The access point establishes a tunnel between the access point and the preferred endpoint for routing traffic associated with the wireless device.
