Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods for splitting a network traffic flow in a data network are described. A flow of traffic between a source node and a destination node in the data network is split into a set of data paths. A data path includes one or more data links between nodes in the data network. A submap of the data network that excludes at least one data link is used to determine the set of flow paths.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for splitting a flow of data in a data network into a set of flow paths comprising: retrieving, from a memory, map data comprising a plurality of network nodes and a plurality of data links between the network nodes, wherein each data link has an associated flow value and an associated flow capacity; receiving, at a processing circuit, a selection of a source node and a selection of a destination node from the plurality of network nodes; sorting…
