Schemes

Relevance

RPS

Randomly forwards packets of a flow to all paths at switches.

LetFlow

Picks a random path for each flowlet.

Presto

Splits a flow into many units with a fixed size (i.e.,64KB) and spreads the units to all paths.

ECMP

Selects a random path from n paths for forwarding.

QDAPS

Selects the output port for each packet based on the queueing delay of the last arriving packet in the same flow to avoid packet reordering.
