Abstract:
A method and apparatus for flow based load balancing are disclosed. For example, the present method receives at least one packet from a flow. If the flow has not being previously classified, then the flow is classified based on the characteristics of the flow. Once classified, the present method matches the flow to at least one matched path from a plurality of available paths in accordance with the characteristics of the flow and characteristics of the at least one matched path. Once matched, the present method forwards the packet from the flow to the at least one matched path for processing.
