Techniques and algorithms for monitoring network congestion and for triggering a flow to follow a new path through a network. The network is monitored, and network feedback data is acquired, where that data indicates whether the network is congested. If the network is congested, a feedback-driven algorithm can trigger a flow to follow a new path. By triggering the flow to follow the new path, congestion in the network is reduced. To identify congestion, the feedback data is analyzed to determine whether flows are colliding. The feedback-driven algorithm determines that a network remapping event is to occur in an attempt to alleviate the congestion. A flow is then selected to be remapped to alleviate the congestion.
