Abstract:
A first flowlet of a flow from a source network device to a destination network device is assigned to a first path of a plurality of paths between the source device and the destination device. The assignment of the first flowlet to the first path is made by a network connected device. A second flowlet is detected in response to an interruption in transmission of the flow due to congestion along the first path, wherein the interruption is longer in duration than a difference in a transmission time between the source network device and the destination network device along each of the plurality of paths. The second flowlet is assigned to a second path of the plurality of paths by the network connected device. According to some example embodiments, the second path is randomly selected from the plurality of paths.

Claim (Index 6):
The method  claim 1 , wherein assigning the first flowlet to the first path comprises randomly selecting the first path from the plurality of paths.
