Weighted Bandwidth Allocation For Adaptive Routing

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to:
• determine that a packet is to be transmitted to a destination;
• select a next port to be used for transmitting the packet by:
• selecting a set of ports among a plurality of ports based on static weight configuration associated with each port of the plurality of ports;
• and
• selecting the next port among the selected set of ports based on a number of hops required to reach the destination from each port of the set of ports and based on an estimated latency to the destination associated with each port of the set of ports;
• and
• route the packet through the selected next port.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors for performing a method, comprising:

• determining that a packet is to be transmitted to a destination;
• selecting a next port to be used for transmitting the packet by:
• selecting a set of ports among a plurality of ports based on static weight configuration associated with each port of the plurality of ports;
• and
• selecting the next port among the set of ports based on a number of hops required to reach the destination from each port of the set of ports and based on an estimated latency to the destination associated with each port of the set of ports;
• and
• routing the packet through the selected next port.
