Abstract:
Aspects of the subject technology provide state-less load-balancing using sequence numbers to identify traffic flows. In some implementations, a process of the technology can include steps for receiving, by a load-balancer, a first packet from a source device including a request to access the service provided by a server coupled to the load-balancer, determining a load for each of the servers, wherein each server is associated with a unique set of sequence numbers, and forwarding the request to a target server selected based on its corresponding load, and wherein the request is configured to cause the target server to issue a reply to the source device. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method comprising:\n receiving, by a load-balancer, a first packet from a source device, the first packet comprising a request to access a service provided by a server coupled to the load-balancer; determining, by the load-balancer, a load for each of a plurality of servers, each of the plurality of servers is associated with a unique set of sequence numbers; and forwarding the request to a target server that is selected from among the plurality of servers based on the load for each of the plurality of servers, the request configured to cause the target server to issue a reply to the source device, the reply comprising a sequence number selected from the unique set of sequence numbers corresponding with the target server, wherein\n the load-balancer includes a table associating each of the plurality of servers with its corresponding unique set of sequence numbers.
