Abstract
Technologies for improving throughput in a network include a node switch. The node switch is to obtain expected performance data indicative of an expected data transfer performance of the node switch. The node switch is also to obtain measured performance data indicative of a measured data transfer performance of the node switch, compare the measured performance data to the expected performance data to determine whether the measured data transfer performance satisfies the expected data transfer performance, determine, as a function of whether the measured data transfer performance satisfies the expected data transfer performance, whether to force a unit of data through a non-minimal path to a destination, and send, in response to a determination to force the unit of data to be sent through a non-minimal path, the unit of data to an output port of the node switch associated with the non-minimal path. Other embodiments are also described.
