Advanced switching optimal unicast and multicast communication paths based on SLS transport protocol

摘要

An embodiment of the present invention may comprise a method to calculate current bandwidth usage by existing connections in a switching fabric between endpoints in a device, calculate available bandwidth for a new connection, and select a path from the multiple paths based on the bandwidth calculations. Some embodiments may be a device, comprising a port to connect the device to paths in an advanced switching fabric, a module to determine current bandwidth usage on the paths, calculate a cumulative bandwidth usage on the paths, calculate available bandwidth for a new connection, and select one of multiple paths available for the new connection.
