    Abstract: Examples relate to routing packets based on the actual congestion sensed in the minimal and the non-minimal candidate routes between a source network device and a destination network device. A packet is received at a network device in a network and all possible minimal and non-minimal candidate routes for the packet to be routed to the destination network device are determined. An adaptive weight is assigned to the non-minimal candidate routes, wherein the adaptive weight is a function of congestion of the minimal candidate routes and the non-minimal candidate routes. An optimal route is selected among the plurality of candidate routes and the packet is routed to the destination device using the optimal route.
