Abstract
Techniques are provided for distributing data over a network. One or more source nodes distribute data to an intermediate node. The intermediate node accumulates the data, dynamically selects a first path for distributing the data to a first destination node, and dynamically selects a second path for distributing the data to a second destination node. In an embodiment, the data is simultaneously distributed over the first and second paths from the intermediate node.
