Abstract
Multipath load-balancing algorithms, which can be used for data center networks (DCNs), are provided. A multipath load-balancing algorithm can be, for example, a distributed multipath load-balancing algorithm or a centralized multipath load-balancing algorithm. Algorithms of the subject invention can be used for, e.g., hierarchical DCNs and/or fat-tree DCNs. Algorithms of the subject invention are effective and scalable and significantly outperform existing solutions.
