Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling and managing a flow. The apparatus classifies a flow management space into a plurality of spaces, detects a heavy load-flow in the classified flow management space, and adjusts variably the flow management space due to a control traffic processing overhead, transmits the detected heavy load-flow according to a weight of each forwarding path through multi-path routing, and balances traffic.
