The new normal enforces a massive paradigm shift towards the digitization of technology. This puts enormous data traffic overload on the next-generation communication networks. The sustainability of good network health in such critical scenarios motivates us to contribute to proposing a novel flexible network load balancing algorithm for vSDN-driven (virtualized Software-Defined Network) wide area networks (WANs). We have developed a multi-tier model with a step aggregating traffic routing concept that can significantly reduce the real-time network load compared to the existing state-of-the-art techniques. We realized our proposed FlexFlow algorithm over a real network topology to validate the efficiency of the approach.
