Abstract
Techniques are presented herein for load-balancing a sequence of packets over multiple network paths on a per-packet basis. In one example, a first network node assigns sequence numbers to a sequence of packets and load-balances the sequence of packets on a per-packet basis over multiple network paths of a network to a second network node. The second network node buffers received packets that are received over the multiple network paths of the network from the first network node and re-orders the received packets according to sequence numbers of the received packets.
