US 2026/0039583 A1 · Latency Aware Routing

Abstract

Existing network architectures may experience latency variabilities due to varied cable lengths and diverse network paths available in a network fabric. Therefore, devices, systems, methods, and processes for facilitating enhanced latency-aware routing are described herein. A routing logic in a network fabric classifies two or more network paths, coupling a first network device to a second network device, into a plurality of groups based on latency attributes of the network paths. The routing logic in response to receiving a traffic flow at the first network device for the second network device, selects from the plurality of groups, a target group and routes the traffic flow to the second network device via at least one network path in the target group. If the target group includes more than one network path, the routing logic executes load balancing among a set of network paths classified into the target group.

Dependent claims

A device, comprising:

a processor;
a transceiver, wherein the device is coupled to a network device via two or more network paths and each network path of the two or more network paths is associated with a latency attribute;
and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises a routing logic that is configured to:
classify the two or more network paths into a plurality of groups based on the latency attribute of each of the two or more network paths;
receive a traffic flow for the network device;
select from the plurality of groups, a target group in response to receiving the traffic flow;
and
route the traffic flow to the network device via the selected target group.
