(57) ABSTRACT A method and systems for dynamically distributing packet flows over
multiple network processing means and recom bining packet flows after processing while
keeping packet order even for traffic wherein an individual flow exceeds the performance
capabilities of a single network processing means is disclosed. After incoming packets have
been ana lyzed to identify the flow the packets are parts of the sequenced load balancer of
the invention dynamically dis tributes packets to the connected independent network pro …
