+/* 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.
