Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method including receiving, from a user application, data to be transmitted from a source address to a destination address using a single connection through a network; and splitting the data into a plurality of packets according to a communication protocol. For each packet of the plurality of packets, a respective flowlet for the packet to be transmitted in is determined from a plurality of flowlets; a field in the packet used by a network switch of the network to route the packet is set based on the determined flowlet for the packet; and the packet is sent via the determined flowlet for transmitting through the network.
