Abstract
Methods and devices for load balancing of connections may include receiving, at a management component on a container host on a computer device, at least one data packet based on a destination IP address of the data packet that corresponds to a plurality of container hosts. The methods and devices may include selecting a destination container from at least one container host on the computer device and other computer devices in communication with the computer device over a virtual network to balance a data load and translating the source IP address of the at least one data packet to a local IP address of the container host. The methods and devices may include changing the destination IP address of the at least one data packet to a virtual IP address of the selected destination container so that the at least one data packet is transformed to a proxy data packet.
