Abstract
A method includes detecting a data flow and an associated originating interface on a network, determining a first link over which to forward the data flow, transmitting the data flow over the determined link, receiving a return data flow and moving a forward direction of the return data flow to a new path if the return data flow arrived via a link other than the first link, wherein all packets following a first packet on the flow are forwarded on the same path as the first packet.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting a data flow and an associated originating interface on a network;
- determining a first link over which to forward the data flow;
- transmitting the data flow over the determined link;
