Zusammenfassung:A semiconductor chip for implementing load-aware equal-cost multipath routing includes a number of ports and several pipes, each pipe being coupled to a portion of ports on the semiconductor chip, and a central unit consisting of a state machine and multiple databases. The databases contain information regarding a communication network including an overlay network and an underlay network, and the state machine is implemented in hardware and can determine at least one feature of the overlay network and a corresponding group of paths within the underlay network.
