Abstract
A method for load balancing in a data network including a plurality of network switches includes receiving a data flow, initiating a path selection process to determine a path between a source network switch and a destination network switch, the path selection process selecting an optimal path based on congestion information of the first network switch and the congestion information of the second network switch, the optimal path corresponding to a path of minimal congestion, and transmitting the data flow along the selected path.
