Abstract
The present invention builds on the implications of variability in flow durations on the stability of load-sensitive routing. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, long-lived flows of packets are routed dynamically while short-lived flows are forwarded on preprovisioned static paths. This hybrid approach can exploit flow-classification hardware at the edge of backbone networks and known techniques for flow-pinning, as well as basic insights from earlier work on QoS routing. This approach of separating short-lived and long-lived flows can dramatically improve the stability of dynamic routing.
