A load balancing device (D) is dedicated to a communication network (N) comprising a plurality of network equipments (R) defining nodes. The device comprises i) a first processing means (PM1) arranged to compute a set of equivalent paths between a source node and a destination node to transmit traffic therebetween, considering multiple criteria bearing respective weights, each path being associated with a cost value representative of its rank in the set, and ii) a second processing means (PM2) arranged to feed the first processing means (PM1) with a designation of a critical link between a source node and a destination node and with the multiple criteria bearing respective chosen weight in order it outputs a set of equivalent paths associated with cost values, and to be fed by the first processing means (PM1) to determine a sharing out of a traffic intended for the critical link among the outputted set of equivalent paths according to their respective cost values. <IMAGE>
