Hypervisor Level Distributed Load-Balancing

摘要

A method and an apparatus of hypervisor level distributed load-balancing are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes determining a location to direct a packet. The method also includes distributing the packet to process the packet through a processor. The method also includes assigning the packet to a guest such that a distribution of the packet to the guest is based on an algorithm. The method further includes altering a first destination address of the packet to a second destination address. The second destination address may be based on a virtual network interface of the guest. The method further includes convincing the guest the packet is from a virtual switch based on the second destination address. In addition, the method includes adjusting the distribution of the packet to the guest. The method also includes reducing a load of the guest through the adjustment.
