Abstract

See full text

A method and system for load balancing are provided. The method includes: receiving a tunnel frame from a traffic flow; determining whether the tunnel frame is one of a plurality of frames from a packet; if the frame is one of a plurality of frames, reassembling the plurality of frames associated with the packet to determine an inner IP header; load balancing the packet based on the inner IP header; and applying traffic policies to the packet. The system has: a traffic interface configured to receive a tunnel frame from the traffic flow; a subscriber load balancer configured to determine whether the tunnel frame is one of a plurality of frames from a packet; at least one IP reassembly engine configured to reassemble the plurality of frames associated with the packet to determine an inner IP header; and at least one flow policy engine configured to load balance the packet based on the inner IP header; and apply traffic policies to the packet.
