/* Protective Load Balancing (PLB)
*
* PLB was designed to reduce link load imbalance across datacenter
* switches. PLB is a host-based optimization; it leverages congestion
* signals from the transport layer to randomly change the path of the
* connection experiencing sustained congestion. PLB prefers to repath
* after idle periods to minimize packet reordering. It repaths by
* changing the IPv6 Flow Label on the packets of a connection, which
* datacenter switches include as part of ECMP/WCMP hashing.
*
* PLB is described in detail in:
*
* Mubashir Adnan Qureshi, Yuchung Cheng, Qianwen Yin, Qiaobin Fu,
* Gautam Kumar, Masoud Moshref, Junhua Yan, Van Jacobson,
* David Wetherall,Abdul Kabbani:
* "PLB: Congestion Signals are Simple and Effective for
* Network Load Balancing"
* In ACM SIGCOMM 2022, Amsterdam Netherlands.
