Abstract

An approach is provided in which a first virtual machine, executing on a host computer system, generates a data packet with a target destination at a second virtual machine over a computer network. The host computer system identifies a data flow corresponding to the data packet based the data packet's header information, and analyzes path weightings of available paths that are made available to the identified data flow. In turn, the host computer system assigns one of the available paths to the identified data flow corresponding to a pre-defined physical layer path from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine.
