Patent ID: 10841198

Abstract:
In various embodiments, a current node, system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided to: allow receipt of a first packet with first data, and a first header including a first segment identifier that is associated with a first algorithm and that identifies at least one of a particular node, a particular network interface, or a particular region; process the first segment identifier to identify a first path based on the first algorithm; cause transmission, via the first path, of the first data toward the at least one of the particular node, the particular network interface, or the particular region; allow receipt of a second packet with second data, and a second header including a second segment identifier that is different from the first segment identifier, that is associated with a second algorithm, and that identifies the at least one of the particular node, the particular network interface, or the particular region; process the second segment identifier to identify a second path based on the second algorithm; and cause transmission, via the second path, of the second data toward the at least one of the particular node, the particular network interface, or the particular region.
