Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
determining, by a data node associated with a cloud-delivered virtual private network (VPN) system, a predicted capacity of the data node during a period of time, the data node configured to process data plane traffic flowing through the cloud-delivered VPN system;
sending, by the data node and to a load balancer associated with the cloud-delivered VPN system, an indication of the predicted capacity to cause the load balancer to send a first number of flows of the data plane traffic to the data node during the period of time;
determining, by the data node and during the period of time, a difference between the predicted capacity of the data node and an actual capacity of the data node; and
based at least in part on the difference, causing, by the data node, the load balancer to send a second number of the flows of the data plane traffic to the data node during the period of time to reduce the difference.
