SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOAD BALANCING IN A DATA CENTER

摘要

Methods of load-balancing in a network are provided herein. One such method includes steps of receiving network traffic at a network device, the network traffic having a destination address and of performing a look-up in a multipath group table using the destination address. The multipath group table includes entries for recursive next-hops, each recursive next hop being associated with a connected next hop in the multipath group table. The method also include a step of hashing the network traffic according to a number of recursive next-hops associated with the destination address in the multipath group table. Additional methods and information handling system are also provided.

1. A network device, comprising:
one or more processors; one or more ports coupled to the one or more processors and configured to couple the network device to one or more first network devices over a network; wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
determine, in response to a topology change, a number of one or more first routes out of a first one of the one or more first network devices that are currently available to reach a prefixed destination;determine load share values for the one or more first network devices based on the determined number of one or more first routes; andforward traffic to the one or more first network devices based on the determined load share values.
