Abstract
Roughly described, a striping algorithm selects a route on which to transmit each next data segment, pseudorandomly from among a subset of eligible routes, the subset being chosen in dependence upon relative channel loading so far. Preferably each ingress node to a switching system chooses an outgoing route for each given next data segment, according to a pseudorandom algorithm, from among a respective given subset containing only those routes via which the amount of data sent from the ingress node during a respective prior time period is no greater than an average of the amount of data sent from the ingress node via any of its outgoing routes during the same prior time period.
