Abstract
Aspects of the disclosed technology provide methods for automatically tuning load-balancer configurations in a network environment. In some implementations, a process of the disclosed technology includes steps for collecting flow records of traffic flow segments at a middle box in a network environment, the traffic flow segments corresponding to one or more traffic flows passing through the middle box, analyzing the flow records to identify one or more traffic patterns in the network environment, and automatically updating a load balancer configuration based on the one or more traffic patterns, wherein updating the load balancer configuration improves at least one traffic flow parameter for at least one of the traffic flows passing through the middle box. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
