Abstract

Systems and methods for splitting a network traffic flow in a data network are described. A flow of traffic between a source node and a destination node in the data network is split into a set of data paths. A data path includes one or more data links between nodes in the data network. A submap of the data network that excludes at least one data link is used to determine the set of flow paths.
