Abstract
Example methods are provided for a network management entity to perform weighted multipath routing configuration in a software-defined networking (SDN) environment. The method may comprise the network management entity obtaining state information associated with the multiple second nodes that provide multiple respective paths for first node to reach a destination network; and based on the state information associated with the multiple second nodes, assigning the multiple second nodes with respective multiple weights. The method may also comprise generating and sending control information specifying the multiple weights to the first node. The control information is to cause the first node to perform weighted multipath routing to distribute egress packets that are destined for the destination network over the multiple second nodes based on the multiple weights.
