Techniques for single-failure protection in load-balanced network architectures are disclosed. For example, in one aspect of the invention, a technique for processing a traffic flow in a communication network comprising a plurality of nodes, the traffic flow being deliverable from a source node to at least one destination node via one or more intermediate nodes, comprises the following steps/operations. The traffic flow is split at the source node into a plurality of parts. The parts are distributed to respective ones of the intermediate nodes such that the parts are routed from the source node to the at least one destination node in a disjoint manner.
