Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for using flow-based load balancing to select a service endpoint from multiple service endpoints in a datacenter of an enterprise network for providing one or more services to client devices in the enterprise network. The method receives, from a network modeling appliance that categorizes service endpoints based on network data, a first set of service endpoints that provide at least one particular service for which a client connection is to be scheduled. The method generates an intersecting set of service endpoints based on the received first set of service endpoints and a second set of service endpoints identified by a load balancer that performs load balancing operations for data message flows to and from the plurality of service endpoints. Based on the generated intersecting set of service endpoints, the method selects a particular service endpoint for scheduling the client connection.
