    摘要: Embodiments of this application disclose a load balancing method and apparatus, a network device, and a system, to improve network resource utilization by performing per-flow load balancing on a per application basis. The method includes: A first network device obtains a first Internet Protocol version 6 IPv6 packet, where the first IPv6 packet includes first load balancing information, the first load balancing information indicates the first network device to send the first IPv6 packet in a load balancing manner, the first load balancing information includes first application characteristic information, and the first application characteristic information describes a characteristic of a first application associated with the first IPv6 packet. The first network device determines a first link based on a hash algorithm and the first load balancing information, where the first network device communicates with a second network device over a plurality of links, and the plurality of links include the first link. The first network device sends the first IPv6 packet to the second network device over the first link.

    摘要: A method of handling communication traffic from one or more User Equipment (UE) in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) network includes: analyzing, by an analytics engine in the CRAN network, communication traffic distribution and loads across multiple cell sites; and determining, by the analytics engine, an optimal mapping of one of a specified cell site or a selected sector of a specified cell site to one of a specified virtual machine or server. Communication traffic from a sector of a first cell site having a first type of traffic load profile and communication traffic from a sector of a second specified cell site having a second type of traffic load profile are aggregated by a single specified virtual machine or server.

    摘要: A cluster load balancer can be coupled to a network for monitoring network traffic. The cluster load balancer can include one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices can be configured to receive a data packet, the data packet comprising a device identifier of a first device connected to a network for a communication session, wherein the data packet is a user plane data packet or a control plane data packet; generate a probe identification based on the device identifier of the first device in the data packet; add the probe identification to the data packet; and transmit the data packet with the probe identification to a second device in communication with a plurality of network probes. The second device can be configured to forward the data packet to a network probe of the plurality of network probes based on the probe identification in the data packet.
