Summary: | In a slice-based network, switches can be programmed to perform routing functions based on a slice identifier. The switch can receive a packet and determine a slice identifier for the packet based on packet header information. The switch can use the slice identifier to determine a next hop. Using the slice identifier with a multi-path table, the switch can select an egress interface for sending the packet to the next hop. The multi-path table can ensure that traffic for a slice stays on the same interface link to the next hop, even when a link aggregation group ("LAG") is used for creation of a virtual channel across multiple interfaces or ports. |
