Abstract
Techniques described herein can use a hybrid load balancing approach to balance loads on paths in a switch fabric. The switch fabric can deliver synchronization data between processors in a multi-processor cluster, and the synchronization data can load the paths on which it is sent. First paths can be identified in the switch fabric, and first synchronization data can be distributed to the first paths using a first load balancing approach, such as a telemetry assisted load balancing approach. Second paths can be identified in the switch fabric, and second synchronization data can be distributed to the second paths using a second load balancing approach, such as a packet spraying load balancing approach.
