Abstract
Technologies for adaptive routing based on aggregated congestion information include a network switch that includes a plurality of output ports. The network switch is configured to determine a maximum local occupancy count for each output port based on a maximum local occupancy count of output buffer queues of each output port, a local congestion value based on the maximum local occupancy count, and a remote congestion value for a corresponding remote input buffer queue of a remote computing device communicatively coupled to a corresponding output port. The network switch is further configured to determine, for each output port, a total congestion value as a function of the local congestion value and the remote congestion value and enqueue the network packet into one of the output buffer queues of one of the output ports based on the total congestion values of the output ports. Other embodiments are described herein.
