Balancing Load Distributions of Loopback Ports

A system for balancing load distributions of loopback ports, comprising:

• an unbalanced detection engine to detect that a load distribution among loopback ports is unbalanced;
• an optimizing determination engine to determine whether said load distribution is balanceable;
• a sampling rate engine to select a length of a sampling rate based on a drop rate of said loopback ports;
• and
• a balancing engine to balance said load distribution.

A computer program product for balancing load distributions of loopback ports, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, said non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therewith, said computer readable program code comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to:
• detect that a load distribution among loopback ports is unbalanced;
• determine whether said load distribution is balanceable;
• select a length of a sampling rate based on a drop rate of said loopback ports;
• determine whether said load distribution is balance among groups of said loopback ports assigned to service different loopback service policy group;
• determine whether said load distribution is balance internal to a group of said loopback ports assigned to service a single loopback service policy group;
• and
• balance said load distribution.
