Abstract
Multipath load balancing methods and apparatus that may be implemented on or by load balancers in load balanced systems. The multipath load balancing method may leverage a multipath network protocol to establish multiple paths for at least some connections between client hosts and server hosts in load balanced systems, each connection corresponding to a particular data flow between a respective client host and server host. Using the multipath load balancing method, a load balancer may operate to establish a bi-directional connection directly between a client host and a server host after first establishing a connection between the client host and server host that passes through the load balancer. Most or all of the traffic that would move between the client host and the server host via the load balancer can then be diverted onto the second, more direct connection between the client host and the server host.
