  • Prediction-Based Network Routing
    Publication number: 20250112866
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for routing of network traffic based on future utilization of a plurality of network devices. For example, future utilization for each of a plurality of network devices may be predicted. Then, based on the predicted future utilization, a route may be determined that comprises at least some of the plurality of network devices. An instruction to route data packets based on the route can then be sent to one (e.g. the first) of the network devices in the determined route.

  • Flow-Based Load Balancing
    Publication number: 20240129238
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for virtualizing routing of network traffic by offloading routing decisions to a controller in communication with a plurality of network devices. For load balancing applications, the controller may make up-front decisions as to both destination and route, rather than wait until traffic has been routed to a load balancing point before determining the destination.
