1. A method performed by at least one computer processor executing computer program instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, the method comprising:

  • receiving information about a plurality of incoming communications, over a network, to a computer;

    receiving information about a plurality of outgoing communications, over a network, from the computer;

    identifying, for each of the plurality of incoming communications, a corresponding invariant scalar quantity;

    identifying, for each of the plurality of outgoing communications, a corresponding invariant scalar quantity;

    determining whether a sum of the corresponding invariant scalar quantities for each of the plurality of incoming communications is equal to a sum of the corresponding invariant scalar quantities for each of the plurality of outgoing communications;

    if the sum of the corresponding invariant scalar quantities for each of the plurality of incoming communications is determined to be equal to the sum of the corresponding invariant scalar quantities for each of the plurality of outgoing communications, then determining that the computer is a load balancer; and

    otherwise, determining that the computer is not a load balancer;

    wherein the scalar invariant quantity corresponding to each of the plurality of incoming communications comprises a size of a payload of the incoming communication and the scalar invariant quantity corresponding to each of the plurality of outgoing communications comprises a size of a payload of the outgoing communication.
