Abstract
Technologies for adaptive routing based on network traffic pattern characterization include a network switch configured to receive a network packet via one of a plurality of input ports and identify a set of the plurality of output ports associated with a path usable to forward the received network packet to a destination computing device along. The network switch is further configured to adjust a total congestion value for each of the set of output ports based on a type of the path to which each of the set of output ports corresponds and a value of a minimal path counter to which each of the set of output ports corresponds and enqueue the received network packet into an output buffer queue of one of the set of output ports based on the total congestion value. Other embodiments are described herein.
