Abstract
A source switching device in a switching system receives information measured by a target switching device in the switching system. The information is indicative of an amount of data received in a given amount of time by the target switching device via each of two or more first links coupled to the target switching device. The source switching device determines, based at least in part on the information received from the target device, a path, from among multiple paths from the source switching device to the target switching device, for transmission of a packet flow directed to the target switching device. The source switching device transmits, via the determined path for transmission of the packet flow to the target device, one or more packets belonging to the packet flow.
