Abstract
Generally, this disclosure describes a scalable cluster router that includes a plurality of server-class computers interconnected together to form a router. Each server may be configured to independently schedule switching of packets to reduce the switch speed requirements on a per server basis. Each server may include a scheduler that independently load balances packet flows across servers of the cluster. Router capacity may be incrementally scaled by adding more servers, and router capacity may be increased by load balancing techniques within individual servers.
