Abstract
A disclosed example apparatus to manage port allocations for network load balancing includes a telematics network information collector to collect bandwidth utilizations corresponding to physical links of network paths between a source and a destination, the network paths including at least one of a link aggregation group hop or an equal cost multi-path hop; a cost calculator to determine network path costs corresponding to unused protocol ports of a physical server host based on the bandwidth utilizations; a comparator to compare the network path costs; and a port allocator to, based on the comparison, allocate one of the unused protocol ports to an application.
