Estimating the term…
Systems, methods and products for distributing traffic to top-of-rack switches (TORs) that dynamically determine their capability to handle traffic and advertise this capability to border leaf router(s). The advertised information may include the bandwidth between the TOR and the instances of the service to which it is connected, and/or the number of instances of the service to which the TOR is connected. The border leaf router computes a distribution of received traffic to the TORs based on this information and forwards traffic to the TORs according to the calculated distribution. As parameters of the TORs and servers change, the TORs can advertise the updated information, and the border leaf router can update its computed distribution to account for the changed parameters.
A system for distribution of traffic through a network comprising:
A network device comprising:
A method for determining a distribution of traffic by a border leaf router to a set of top-of-rack switches (TORs) connected to the border leaf router, the method comprising:
