Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for load balancing traffic per the capacities of direct IPs (DIPs). The methods and systems use latency measurements from each DIP to determine the capacity of each DIP. The methods and systems use the latency measurements to determine the weights for each DIP using an Integer Linear Program (ILP). The weights identify an amount of traffic to provide to each DIP. The methods and systems provide the weights for each DIP to a load balancer controller to program the load balancer dataplane with the weights.
