Method and apparatus for automatic load-balancing on a multi-segment network

摘要

Automatic load-balancing provides a decision-making process that includes intelligent automatic detection of when a given load-balancing activation currently would not be beneficial, thereby keeping the user's network from being unnecessarily disturbed when no real benefit would be gained; a process to undo a prior load-balancing that can be activated when users have accidentally selected a feature which could substantially change their network configurations; and an extensive intelligent distribution algorithm that improves the network load by moving the right nodes to new segments.
