发明名称 Multipathing using multiple endpoint addresses for load balancing in a network
摘要 A method for balancing load on a network by selecting a path based on a load balancing algorithm and assigning one of several pairs of endpoint addresses for a flow based on the path selected. One pair of endpoint addresses corresponds to a first path and another pair of endpoint addresses corresponds to a second path. If the first path is selected, the first pair of endpoint addresses is assigned to the flow. If the second path is selected, the second pair of endpoint addresses is assigned to the flow. In one embodiment, based on the assigned pair of endpoint address, the flow is switched to an endpoint by the selected path.
