Patent number: 10848414Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a network node configured to be included in a set of network nodes operatively coupled to a core network node. The network node is configured to receive a first packet and a second packet from a host device operatively coupled to the network node. The network node is configured to send the first packet to the core network node via a first path of a tunnel between the network node and the core network node. The first path of the tunnel has a first cost. The network node is configured to send the second packet to the core network node via a second path of the tunnel. The second path has a second cost different than the first cost.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: James Murphy, Nischal Sheth, Abhijit Choudhury, Raghavendra Mallya, Pranay Pogde, Phalguni Nanda, Jayabharat Boddu, Pradeep Sindhu
