Abstract
The invention relates to a method, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and an apparatus for load balancing of a network processing unit (NPU). A central processing unit (CPU) is coupled to the NPU and the NPU has multiple cores. The method, which is performed by the CPU, includes: reassigning a data stream processed by a first core in the NPU, which is under a high load, to a second core in the NPU, which is under a low load, where the low load is lower than the high load. The data stream is distinguished from other data streams by at least its quintuple, and the quintuple is composed of a source Internet Protocol (IP) address, a source port, a destination IP address, a destination port and a protocol type.
