Abstract
Some embodiments provide a novel method for associating machines of a first network with gateways that connect the machines to an external second network. The method assigns first and second sets of machines to first and second traffic groups that are associated with first and second gateways. Based on statistics regarding data message load on the first gateway, the method identifies a first machine to reassign from a first traffic group to the second traffic group. The method reassigns the first machine to the second traffic group to reduce data message load on the first gateway.
