Abstract

Technologies are provided for ensuring that separate network paths within a network are used for network traffic between multiple source devices and a destination device or between pairs of source and destination devices. In some solutions, network path information is determined and sent to source devices that use the network path information to encapsulate network packets that then use separate network paths for at least a portion of their paths through the network. In some solutions, separate network paths are ensured using network path separation lists that are sent to network devices to make network traffic routing decisions. In some solutions, flow description information is calculated and sent to network devices to make network traffic routing decisions to keep network flows separate.
