This repository holds the code used in the paper evaluation.

• middlebox: holds the implementations of the CRAB load balancer using different technologies
• endpoints: holds the CRAB support for the clients and servers either through a modified kernel or through the use of netfilter modules.

You can find instructions on how to build and run the load balancer and the modified servers and clients in each folder.
