    Abstract: An example method for load balancing in a network environment is provided and includes receiving a packet from a first stage load-balancer in a network environment, where the packet is forwarded from the first stage load-balancer to one of a plurality of second stage load-balancers in the network according to a hash based forwarding scheme, and routing the packet from the second stage load-balancer to one of a plurality of servers in the network according to a per-session routing scheme. The per-session routing scheme includes retrieving a session routing state from a distributed hash table in the network. In a specific embodiment, the hash based forwarding scheme includes equal cost multi path routing. The session routing state can include an association between a next hop for the packet and the packet's 5-tuple representing a session to which the packet belongs.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to reduce the number of redirected subscriber packet flows while performing sticky hierarchical load balancing. An Nth head end network element may be activated such that a plurality of N head end network elements are active and capable of receiving and processing one or more packet flows. A primary load balancer may then be directed to overwrite a portion of pointers of a hash table in an evenly distributed manner with pointers to the Nth head end network element such that packet flows are forwarded to the Nth head end network element, wherein the hash table retains a static number of entries as the number of head end network elements is modified.
