Abstract
This application describes routing packets from a source server to a plurality of ports of a switch. The switch is programmed by the control server and is used to direct incoming data packets to one or more ports of the switch in a manner that reduces congestion of incoming data packets to a destination server. Further, the control server queries congestion information from the switch, and then sends congestion notification back to the source server to either increase or decrease the amount of data being sent to the destination server.
