Abstract

See full text

Techniques are described for transmitting a packet from a source switch module to a destination switch module. Embodiments include determining, at the destination switch module, a path from the source switch module to the destination switch module. Path information specifying the determined path from the source switch module to the destination switch module is transmitted from the destination switch module to the source switch module. Additionally, embodiments include receiving, at the destination switch module, from the source switch module, a packet that includes (i) at least a portion of the path information and (ii) payload data to be processed at the destination switch module, wherein the packet was routed using the at least a portion of the path information. The payload data within the received packet is processing by the destination switch module.
