Abstract

A method may include receiving a request to provide at least one application session, and generating a networking architecture that includes at least one virtual route reflector front end (VRR FE), at least one back end work unit, and at least one routing information base (RIB) in a virtualization environment. The method includes implementing the at least one application session via the at least one VRR FE, the at least one back end work unit, and the at least one RIB. The at least one VRR FE is to perform as a proxy for traffic to the at least one back end work unit. The method also includes monitoring a load associated with the at least one application session, and performing load balancing on the networking architecture based on assignment of the load to the at least one back end work unit.
