A method and system for providing robust streaming of data from a multi-core die is disclosed. The techniques include using a high bandwidth memory (HBM) device as retransmit buffers for large amounts of data to ensure robust communication in relatively high round trip-transmission time (RTT) transmission. Another technique is supporting two or more Ethernet ports between components to both transmit the same data packets on the two ports to insure robustness. Another technique is to use sequence numbers and send data packets from the different ports in a round robin fashion and reorder the packets upon receipt of an external device. Another technique is dynamically adding and removing paths for data packets between devices with multiple ports based on the quality of the path.

A multiple persistent load balancer system includes a routing sub-network having a plurality of routing sub-network nodes that are coupled to a plurality of load balancer devices. A controller provides a common routing algorithm and a destination distribution list to each of the routing sub-network nodes and the load balancer devices. A first persistent load balancer device receives a first data flow from at least one of the routing sub-network nodes, and uses the common routing algorithm and the destination distribution list to determine whether the first data flow should be redirected to a second persistent load balancer device. If not, the first persistent load balancer device processes the first data flow to retrieve a resource from a server. If so, the first persistent load balancer device forwards the first data flow through at least one of the sub-network nodes to the second persistent load balancer device.

In non-minimal routing, a switch determines outgoing links for preferred paths (e.g. shortest paths). Then, for another node in a preferred path, the switch determines outgoing links for paths to that node in a modified network in which each link in a previously determined path to the node is cut off. Packets can be tunneled on non-preferred paths to that node. Other features and embodiments are also provided.
