Hi Wissam, great post! Can you share the name of the algorithm used in the load balancers to do predictive analysis of incoming traffic?

Thanks Yuval, much appreciated! Their in-house algorithm is based on cubic splines to predict future load: en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Cubic_Spli...

I'm not familiar with it personally but it's definitely interesting.
