Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing load balancing of a data packet received by a hybrid virtual load balancer. An embodiment operates by detecting a hardware capability of a switch. The hybrid virtual load balancer may also receive policy code from a user specifying a desired load balancing behavior for the data packet. Based on the hardware capability and the policy code, the hybrid virtual load balancer may determine whether to offload load balancing of the data packet to the switch or process the data packet in software on the hybrid virtual load balancer. If the load balancing is to be offloaded, the hybrid virtual load balancer may send programming instructions to an SDN controller coupled to the switch. The programming instructions direct the SDN controller to program the switch to load balance the data packet.
