Abstract
This work presents the method of load balancing on level 3 virtual private network (L3-VPN) gateways to scale secure communication channels between data centers. The method is based on the software-defined networking (SDN) technology. The load balancing and channel fault tolerance (Active- Active) algorithms are described in detail.
