Abstract
Data center systems are described. A router can receive a data packet having a header indicating the destination for that data packet. That router can then route the data packet to another, second router. The routers can consider different portions of the header when making their routing decisions. For example, the different portions can be different sizes to allow for the first router to perform less complex routing decisions while the second router can perform more complex routing decisions.
