Abstract
An example branch gateway (BG) of a local area network (LAN) includes processing circuitry and a memory. The memory includes instructions that cause the BG to determine that a network traffic load of the BG is greater than that of another BG. The instructions further cause the BG to determine that a first network traffic load skew between the BG and the other BG is greater than a first threshold. The instructions further cause the BG to select a first virtual local area network (VLAN) of a set of VLANs of the LAN, wherein network traffic of client devices of the first VLAN is routed through the BG based on a master role of the first VLAN being assigned to the BG. The instructions further cause the BG to transmit a message to the other BG that assigns the master role of the first VLAN to the other BG.
