This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to managing egress traffic from a network to one or more peer networks. A method may include generating, using a load balancer of a network, a dynamic logical egress traffic threshold for a peer network; determining, using the load balancer, that first traffic from the network to the peer network is below the logical egress traffic threshold; directing second traffic from the network to the peer network based on the determination that the first traffic is below the logical egress traffic threshold; determining, using the load balancer, that the second traffic from the network to the peer network has reached the logical egress traffic threshold; and directing third traffic from the network away from the peer network based on the determination that the second traffic has reached the logical egress traffic threshold.
A method of managing egress traffic to a peer network, the method comprising:
A device for managing egress traffic to a peer network, the device comprising memory coupled to at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
A system for managing egress traffic to a peer network, the system comprising:
