1. A method of operating a first gateway comprising:
identifying a number of processing queues at a second gateway;
receiving a packet from a computing node;
identifying addressing attributes in the packet;
generating a flow label based on the addressing attributes and the number of processing queues at the second gateway;
encapsulating the packet with the flow label in an outer header for the encapsulated packet; and
communicating the encapsulated packet to the second gateway.
