Abstract
A method for implementing load balancing are applied to a 4-node network structure. Every two nodes in the 4-node network structure are interconnected, and the nodes are, e.g., dies. The 4-node network structure includes a source node (SN) and a destination node (DN). According to the method, when a bandwidth occupied by ingress traffic flowing into the SN and destined for the DN is greater than a bandwidth of a fabric side link (FSL) between the SN and the DN, the SN selects at least two transmission paths to send the ingress traffic to the DN; and when the bandwidth occupied by the ingress traffic is less than or equal to the bandwidth of the FSL, the SN transmits the ingress traffic on a direct link between the SN and the DN.
