Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a source leaf device receives a packet. The source leaf device identifies a flowlet associated with the packet and a destination leaf device to which the packet is to be transmitted. The source leaf device may determine whether the flowlet is a new flowlet. The source leaf device may select an uplink of the source leaf device via which to transmit the flowlet to the destination leaf device according to whether the flowlet is a new flowlet. The source leaf device may then transmit the packet to the destination leaf device via the uplink.
