Abstract

The performance of randomized load balanced or selective, randomized load balanced networks is enhanced by using ingress traffic engineering in addition to randomized traffic splitting. By first using the capacity of all links leading to the final destination of traffic, the remaining capacity is freed up for best effort traffic. Traffic splitting rules that enhance the performance of randomized load balanced networks in terms of packet missequencing and other quality of service criteria are also described.
