Methods and apparatus to improve packet flow among virtualized servers

A method comprising:

• identifying abstracted network resources in a virtualized network based on a utilization status parameter of the abstracted network resources;
• generating a load balance list including the identified abstracted network resources, the load balance list including a number of the abstracted network resources satisfying a threshold;
• generating a network routing configuration for data packets in the virtualized network based on the generated load balance list;
• and
• adjusting a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one or more of the abstracted network resources based on the network routing configuration to distribute a packet flow among the abstracted network resources.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:

• identify abstracted network resources in a virtualized network based on a utilization status parameter of the abstracted network resources;
• generate a load balance list including the identified abstracted network resources, the load balance list including a number of the abstracted network resources satisfying a threshold;
• generate a network routing configuration for data packets in the virtualized network based on the generated load balance list;
• and
• adjust a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one or more of the abstracted network resources based on the network routing configuration to distribute a packet flow among the abstracted network resources.
