Abstract

Disclosed is increasing available bandwidth for processing of packets by a security service in a dynamic service chain, monitoring available bandwidth of the security service, taking into account a number of instances of the security service currently running, detecting a traffic volume that has exceeded a configurable threshold, provisioning a new instance to increase the available bandwidth of the security service, putting the new instance into service including updating a constant hash table (CHT) used to implement distributed routing and load balancing and distributing the updated CHT to instances of an other service that is upstream in the dynamic service chain from the security service. The method can include assigning new streams to use the new instance.
