Abstract
One embodiment described herein provides a system and method for path control in a network. During operation, in response to determining that a path-control condition is met, an end host in the network can determine an offset value to be applied to a packet header of a packet, modify the packet header by applying the determined offset value, and forward the packet based on the modified packet header.
