Abstract

Technology related to disaggregating network traffic is disclosed. In one example, a method can include determining whether individual network flows are members within a first subset of the network flows. A second subset of the first subset of network flows can be learned in response to determining a change in a number of servers available to service the network flows. A first network packet can be forwarded to a first server in response to the first network packet being a member of the first subset of network flows and a member of the learned second subset of the first subset of network flows. A second network packet can be forwarded to a second server in response to the second network packet being a member of the first subset of network flows but not a member of the learned second subset of the first subset of network flows.
