Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors associated with a data node of a cloud-delivered virtual private network (VPN) system, cause the data node to perform operations comprising:
determining a predicted capacity of the data node during a period of time, the predicted capacity determined based at least in part on a utilization history associated with the data node;
sending, to a load balancer of the cloud-delivered VPN system, an indication of the predicted capacity to cause prompt the load balancer to send a first number of flows of data plane traffic to the data node during the period of time;
determining, during the period of time, a metric indicative of 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 being greater than a threshold difference, prompting sending, to the load balancer, an indication of the metric for use in a load balancing algorithm to cause the load balancer to send a second number of the flows of data plane traffic to the data node during the period of time to reduce the difference.
