Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a data center utilizing ECMP with four paths to a destination, calculate how to effectively balance traffic if one path experiences 50% higher latency than the others.

💡 Hint: Consider proportions of traffic based on latency.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a simple data center network diagram that shows how ECMP can be implemented with at least three switches and multiple paths between redundancy aspects.

💡 Hint: Use visual aids such as arrows to depict paths and redundancy effectively.
