The point is that we need a standardized LB protocol #18

As outlined in issue #12, distributing LBs for on-path decisions requires coordination among those LBs, equating the signaling proposed in the dyncast arch draft with the LBs being a manifestation of the proposed d-router. As also stated in issue #12, standardizing said signaling interface would prevent locking into a single (LB) vendor in deployments.

There are several types of Load Balancer, L7/L4/L3 load balancers. CAN aims to provide L3/L3.5 solution for selecting better instance/site, therefore CAN could act similar to the role of L3/L3.5 load balancer, but not limited to it.
