A bufferless network (e.g., optical burst network) and a method for executing a routing strategy that deflects a minimum number of packets in the bufferless network are described herein. The bufferless network includes a group of nodes (e.g., routers) and a set of links (e.g., paths) that connect together the nodes. Each node executes the routing strategy that deflects a minimum number of packets to unfavorable nodes instead of to favorable nodes that are closer to their final destination nodes. Three different embodiments of the routing strategy are described herein.
