    摘要: Systems and methods for flowlet switching using memory instructions. One embodiment is a method of distributing packets over multiple paths. The method includes determining an elapsed time between a packet and a previous packet. The method further includes, in response to determining that the elapsed time is less than an inter-packet gap threshold: retaining a previously selected path value indicated in the flow record, and providing the previously selected path value to the processing thread for transmitting the packet over a previously selected path associated with the previous packet. The method also further includes, in response to determining that the elapsed time is greater than the inter-packet gap threshold: updating the flow record by replacing the previously selected path value with the path value of the selected path of the memory instruction, and providing the path value to the processing thread for transmitting the packet over the selected path.
