Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus for providing SDN flow distribution without requiring per-connection state in the network. In particular, the SDN flow distribution is realized in network elements within the forwarding path of packets by providing in those network elements with a controller capable of mapping traffic flows onto a set of target servers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
