Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a Clos network load balancing method and apparatus. In certain embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a first switch, a first packet and determining, by the first switch, a third switch. The third switch is a switch in a second group of switches. The method includes performing, by the first switch, tunnel encapsulation on the first packet, a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address in a tunnel-encapsulated IP header being an IP address of a second switch. The method includes performing, by the first switch, Internet Protocol in Internet Protocol (IP-in-IP) encapsulation on the tunnel-encapsulated first packet and sending, by the first switch, the IP-in-IP encapsulated first packet.

Claim (Index 12):
The first switch according to  claim 8 , wherein:\n the receiving unit is further configured to receive a third packet sent by the second switch, wherein the third packet carries the identifier of the third switch that is determined by the second switch and used by the first switch to send the packet to the second switch; and the first switch further comprises an obtaining unit configured to determine the third switch according to the identifier of the third switch in the third packet.
