Abstract:
Techniques are described for optimizing multipaths of a segment routing-enabled network. For example, a computing device is configured to: for each link in a network layer of a multi-layer network, compute a usage (metric) of the link by all paths of a first plurality of multipaths provisioned in the network layer to compute a total usage by the first plurality of multipaths, the first plurality of multipaths having been computed and placed to a model of the network layer in a first order; compute a second plurality of multipaths, wherein the second plurality of multipaths are computed and placed, to the model of the network layer, in a second, different order; and in response to determining that the total usage by the second plurality of multipaths is less than the total usage by the first plurality of multipaths, provision the second plurality of multipaths in the network layer.
