Abstract
Methods and system of traffic load balancing between a plurality of Points of Presence (PoP) of a cloud computing infrastructure are described. A first PoP of multiple PoPs of cloud computing infrastructure that provides a cloud computing service receives a packet. The packet includes as a destination address an anycast address advertised by the first PoP for reaching the cloud computing service. The first PoP identifies a network address of a second PoP that is different from the first PoP. The first PoP forwards the packets as an encapsulated packet to the second PoP to be processed in the second PoP according to the cloud computing service.
