Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider proportions of traffic based on latency.

Question 2

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use visual aids such as arrows to depict paths and redundancy effectively.
