Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A load balancer capable of instantiating a data plane within the load balancer, deleting the data plane from the load balancer, and/or enacting a change to the data plane. The load balancer instantiates a data plane for an identified tenant. The instantiated data plane is placed in a data path of network data transmitted from one or more sources to a plurality of tenant addresses that each corresponds to a different tenant or group of tenants. The instantiated data plane is also dedicated to the identified tenant such that the data plane isolates first network data destined to a first tenant address that corresponds to the identified tenant from second network data destined to one or more other tenant addresses. The load balancer also deletes the instantiated data plane from the load balancer, or enacts a change to the instantiated data plane.
