Abstract

Various examples disclosed herein relate to determining switch load values for a switch according to a weighted score for categorized network traffic. In some examples, traffic volume information is determined for a switch in a network. The traffic volume information can include volume of network traffic for the switch for multiple time parameters. The network can include multiple switches. The switches can be associated with loss potential information based on a topology of the switches. The traffic volume information can be categorized into multiple categories. Multiple switch load values can be determined for the switch. Each switch load value can correspond to one of the multiple time parameters. Further, each switch load value can be determined according to a weighted score for each categorized network traffic and according to the loss potential information.
