Abstract
Nowadays, data centre operators have to implement new solutions quickly, providing their clients with high-quality services related to access to data or application. For this reason, open source solutions that enable full control over the development of a network environment are very popular. In this group, the leader is the solution of Cumulus Networks - Cumulus Linux. During their work on implementing automatic mechanisms of load balancing of devices working in the L2 ISO/OSI, the authors noticed the lack of such mechanisms in the Cumulus Linux solution. The article presents a solution to this problem. Tests have shown the usefulness of this solution.
