    Abstract: Techniques are described for classifying packet flows to different paths of a computer network based at least in part on an energy cost of each of the different paths. In one example, a network device determines a weighted equal-cost multipath (wECMP) cost of each of different paths over which to forward packets. The different paths may include, for example, different interfaces of a network device, different links to which the network device is connected, or different links of an aggregated bundle of Ethernet links. The network device determines an energy cost of each of the paths. The network device modifies the wECMP cost of each path based at least in part on the energy cost of the path to obtain a modified wECMP cost. The network device load balances the packets over the paths in accordance with the modified wECMP cost.

    Abstract: A network device may receive packets, wherein the network device includes a first routing component, a second routing component, a first forwarding component, a second forwarding component, and a physical interface card concentrator with multiple physical interface cards. The first routing component may provide, to the physical interface card concentrator, a signal indicating that the second forwarding component is to be an active forwarding component. The physical interface card concentrator may cause, based on the signal, a data path for the multiple physical interface cards to be switched from the first forwarding component to the second forwarding component. The first routing component may provide the packets to the second forwarding component. The second forwarding component may provide the packets to the multiple physical interface cards via the data path. The multiple physical interface cards may forward the packets toward destinations associated with the packets.

    Abstract: A device may receive, from a set of network devices, telemetry information associated with a first set of flows. The device may process, using a machine learning technique, the telemetry information to determine information that permits the set of network devices to identify a set of expected bandwidth values associated with a second set of flows. The device may provide, to a network device of the set of network devices, at least a portion of the information, that permits the set of network devices to identify the set of expected bandwidth values associated with the second set of flows, to permit the network device to determine an expected bandwidth value associated with a flow of the second set of flows and select a link to use when providing network traffic associated with the flow based on the expected bandwidth value.
