ABSTRACT:
A method for transmitting load balancing in mixed speed environments such as physical interface speed changes and client flow speed changes is disclosed. Components such as an association module, a flow redirector, a channel assignment module, and a balancing timer are employed. The association module is a data structure that contains an association between client connections and a network interface. The flow redirector redirects transmitted network packets to the network interfaces based on the data, which is provided by the load balancing association. The channel assignment module is advised when such association data does not exist. The channel assignment module creates the association between the client connection- and the network interface, which is stored in the load balancing association. The decisions that this module makes affect the actual balancing between the network interfaces. The balancing timer computes throughput for client flows and re-associates client flows to the network interfaces.
