Technologies for scrambling in load balancers

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media storing a plurality of instructions, which, when executed, causes a network device to:

• generate a plurality of data sets each having a value that has a sequential relationship with a value of a hash profile;
• determine, with a load balancing function, a distribution for the plurality of data sets to each of a plurality of bins, each bin mapped to one of a plurality of destinations;
• determine, as a function of the distribution, an unfairness score indicative of the distribution being unequal among each of the destinations;
• and
• enable, in response to a determination that the unfairness scores exceeds a specified threshold, a scrambling function to be performed during configuration of the plurality of bins with the destinations, the scrambling function comprising a bit-swapping technique to remap each of the plurality of destinations into the plurality of bins.

A method, comprising:

• generating, by a network device, a plurality of data sets each having a value that has a sequential relationship with a value of a hash profile;
• determining, by the network device and with a load balancing function, a distribution for a plurality of data sets to each of a plurality of bins, wherein each bin maps to one of a plurality of destinations;
• determining, by the network device and as a function of the distribution, an unfairness score indicative of the distribution being unequal among each of the destinations;
• and
• enabling, by the network device and in response to a determination that the unfairness score exceeds a specified threshold, a scrambling function to be performed during configuration of the plurality of bins with the destinations, the scrambling function comprising a bit-swapping technique to remap each of the plurality of destinations into the plurality of bins.

A network device comprising:

• means for generating a plurality of data sets each having a value that has a sequential relationship with a value of a hash profile
• circuitry for determining, with a load balancing function, a distribution for a plurality of data sets to each of a plurality of bins, wherein each bin maps to one of a plurality of destinations;
• means for determining, as a function of the distribution, an unfairness score indicative of the distribution being unequal among each of the destinations;
• and
• means for enabling, in response to a determination that the unfairness score exceeds a specified threshold, a scrambling function to be performed during configuration of the plurality of bins with the destinations, the scrambling function comprising a bit-swapping technique to remap each of the plurality of destinations into the plurality of bins.
