Distribution of web traffic toward the centralized cloud firewall system

This paper presents methods that are used in AMRES (Academic Network of Serbia) network in order to equally distribute a large amount of web traffic toward the centralized cloud firewall system. Although some of the methods can be only used with the Cisco equipment, other methods can be used with equipment of any manufacturer or open-source solutions that are relaying on proxy functionality in order to forward the web traffic. The Idea for the paper was born during the work on the Géant3 plus project on the NA3T2 (Network Activity 3/Task 2) task.
