TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADAPTIVE ROUTING USING THROUGHPUT ESTIMATION

Technologies for adaptive routing using throughput estimation that includes a network switch. The network switch is configured to determine an adjusted average saturation count for each output buffer queue as a function of a present value of a saturation counter of a corresponding output buffer queue and a weighted average saturation count and a running average saturation count for each of the plurality of output buffer queues as a function of the corresponding captured present value and the adjusted average saturation count. The network switch is further configured to determine a congestion rate value for each output buffer queue and a total congestion value as a function of the congestion rate values and a standard occupancy congestion corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of output buffer queues. Other embodiments are described herein.
