Abstract: A flow routing system includes a source device and a destination device that are coupled together via a network that includes a Software Defined Networking (SDN) device. The source device generates a packet that includes a packet header, provides a connection identifier in the packet header, and transmits the packet through the network. The SDN device receives the packet through the network from the source device, matches the connection identifier that is included in the packet header to a single tuple in a flow entry of a flow table and, in response, uses the flow entry to route the packet through the network to the destination device. The connection identifier may be provided by hashing a source IP address, a destination IP address, a VLAN identity, a source MAC address, a source port identifier, a destination port identifier; and a creation time for the flow including the packet.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory to store a set of instructions, and a processor. The processor receives a maximum transmission unit (MTU) packet from a second information handling system via a first portion of a communication path, and in response to the information handling system not being a final destination information handling system compares a current MTU size of the communication path with a next MTU size of the communication path. In response to the next MTU size being smaller than the initial MTU size, the processor replaces the current MTU size with the next MTU size as the current MTU size, otherwise maintains the current MTU size as the current MTU size. The processor also provides the MTU packet to a next information handling system via the next portion of the communication path.
