Abstract
A technique for controlling network routing in a network (100) is provided. The network (100) includes a first end node (102) and a second end note (104). The end nodes are connectable along a first routing path (106) by at least one link (113). The network (100) further provides a second routing path (108) including the first end node (102) and the second end nodes (104). As to a method aspect of the technique, one or more queues (402) are provided. Each of the queues (402) serves at least one tunnel (Tunnel_1; Tunnel_2) along the first routing path (106). A switching of the tunnel (Tunnel_1) to the second routing path (108) is triggered based on a combination of two pieces of information. A piece of information includes information as to a queue build-up at the queue (504) serving the tunnel (Tunnel_1). Another piece of information includes information as to a capacity of the link (113) of the first routing path (106).
