Abstract
Reducing network congestion using a load balancer is described. The load balancer receives network traffic for processing work for a delay-sensitive application. The load balancer is coupled with multiple application instances executing on compute nodes that are each capable of processing the work. The load balancer determines from the network traffic whether there is an indication of network congestion. If there is an indication of network congestion, the load balancer selects one of the application instances for processing the work based at least in part on reducing the network congestion. The load balancer causes the work to be processed at the selected application instance.
