    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for improving debugging and troubleshooting of datacenter networks, and more particularly improving the speed of forwarding/data path related problems without going into ASIC level debugging. A switch could, for example, have a processor which communicates with an ASIC. The processor can receive flow information and a notification from the ASIC, the notification indicating a predefined error condition has been identified in a packet. The processor can modify the ASIC programming based on the notification, such that the ASIC records additional, more-detailed, flow information for the switch. The processor can then receive, from the modified ASIC, the additional flow information. The additional flow information can then be used (either by the processor or by an operator) to identify the exact reason for the errors in the flow path.

    Abstract: In some implementations, network traffic can be routed along equal cost paths based on weights assigned to each path. For example, weighted equal cost multipath routing can be implemented by assigning weights to each equal cost path (e.g., uplink, next hop node) to a destination device. When the network device receives a packet, the network device can generate a key (e.g., a random value, a hash value based on packet data, a value between 0 and n, etc.). The key can be used to select an uplink or path upon which to forward the packet. A key can be generated for a packet flow or flowlet. Each flow can be associated with the same key so that each packet in a flow will be forwarded along the same path. Each flowlet can be forwarded along a different uplink.
