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 14):
The first switch according to  claim 8 , wherein:\n the receiving unit is further configured to receive a fourth packet sent by a fourth switch, wherein the fourth switch belongs to the first group of switches and the fourth packet carries a third time; and the sending unit is further configured to send a second delay to the fourth switch, wherein the second delay is a difference between a fourth time and the third time, the fourth time being a time at which the first switch receives the fourth packet.
