[snip]

The thing flowtable gave you is the ability to set a per connection
(L4 match) to be able to set a destination MAC to forward to - so you
COULD build a complete load balancer in kernel.

Gleb stripped out the L4 bits to simplify it for netflix, which
removed that functionality.

I'd love to see it re-added back in and a userland API to let us do
that - then yes, we can build kernel load balancers for this stuff.
