Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for routing data flow during ECMP routing between two network nodes is provided. The method may comprise determining a bandwidth requirement of a data flow during ECMP routing, the data flow to be sent between at least two network nodes, the at least two network nodes communicating via a plurality of data paths. The method may further comprise determining the available bandwidth on each of the plurality of data paths and selecting the data path having sufficient bandwidth to accommodate the bandwidth of the data flow.
