Abstract
In some implementations, a network device may determine throughput rate metrics for a plurality of processing units of the network device that are processing network traffic of a network. The network device may maintain the throughput rate metrics in a status table associated with the plurality of processing units. The network device may receive tunnel traffic associated with a particular tunnel of the network. The network device may determine, based on a characteristic of the tunnel traffic, a potential throughput rate associated with processing the tunnel traffic. The network device may direct the tunnel traffic to a particular processing unit, of the plurality of processing units, based on the potential throughput rate and the throughput rate metrics indicated in the status table.
