# This example file shows how to implement load balancing using the nftables
# framework.
# This script is meant to be loaded with `nft -f
`
# You require linux kernel >= 4.12 and nft >= 0.7

# emulate flow distribution with different backend weights using intervals:

1 : 4050 }
# consistent hash-based distribution:
dnat to jhash ip saddr . tcp dport mod 2 map {
