Abstract
Systems and methods of routing are provided. In the system, one or more processors determine that a packet is to be transmitted to a destination. In one or more aspects of the system, the one or more processors select a next port to be used for transmitting the packet by selecting a set of ports among a plurality of ports based on a static weight configuration associated with each port. The next port may be selected from the set of ports based on a number of hops required to reach the destination from each port and based on an estimated latency from each port to the destination. The one or more processors may then route the packet through the selected next port.
