Zusammenfassung:In a network switching system that comprises a plurality of interconnected network devices, a first network device transmits one or more first packets via a first network interface of the first network device, the one or more first packets belonging to a packet flow. The first network device receives a message that indicates congestion corresponding to the packet flow within the network switching system. In response to the message, the first network device selects a second network interface of the first network device for transmitting one or more second packets that belong to the packet flow. After receiving the message, the first network device transmits the one or more second packets via the second network interface of the first network device.
