SDN-Distributed-Load-Balancer

A Software Defined Networking application implementing the same functionality as a set of hardware
load balancers. When clients initiate TCP connections with a specific virtual IP, SDN switches send
the TCP SYN packet to the SDN controller; the SDN application will select a host from a pre-defined
set and install rules in an SDN switch to rewrite the IP and MAC addresses of packets associated
with the connection. The SDN switch matches the modified packets against the flow rules installed
be the layer-3 routing application detailed
here and applies the appropriate actions.

The load balancing is distributed because the load balancing is performed at many SDN switches,
rather than at a single hardware load balancer. Each load balancer instance has a virtual IP
address, virtual MAC address, and a set of hosts among which TCP connections should be distributed.
