Zusammenfassung:Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic manager apparatuses, and systems that assist with allocating a traffic load through heterogenous topology of a network includes extracting a header of each of a plurality of received packets of a traffic flow. Each of the headers comprises fields. Next, the network traffic manager apparatus executes a hashing function over the fields of each of the headers, applies a load balancing function to determine one of a plurality of endpoints to send each of the received packets based on one or more endpoint characteristics, and maps the index for each corresponding one of the received packets to the corresponding selected one of the endpoints. The received packets are not evenly divided among the plurality of endpoints. Lastly, the network traffic manager apparatus sends the received packets selected endpoint based on the mapping from the load balancing policy.
